About The Gods of Pegana

"The Gods of Pegāna" by Lord Dunsany is a fantasy book published in 1905. This debut work presents a mythological universe centered on an invented pantheon of deities dwelling in Pegāna. Through interconnected short stories, Dunsany introduces Māna-Yood-Susha̅i̅, the supreme creator who sleeps while his drummer Skarl maintains eternal rhythm, and various "small gods" who govern life, death, time, and destiny. The book attempts to account for fundamental elements like the ocean and moon through original mythology, illustrated by Sidney Sime's artwork.
