God III - Rain Spirit and Were-Jaguar
Pantheon: Olmec
Keep in Mind
There is no surviving direct account of the Olmec's religious beliefs, unlike the Mayan and the Aztecs.
Because of this techniques such as typological analysis of Olmec iconography and art, comparison to later, better documented pre-Columbian cultures and comparison to modern-day cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Americas have been used to piece together what little we know about this ancient, nearly lost, culture.
Thus any information we do know cannot be taken as fact but rather a combination of fragmented historical documention, educated guesswork and conjecture.
Key Info
- Also known as Rain Spirit and Were-Jaguar.
- Might be 1 or 2 seperate entities or the seed phas of God II.
Brief Bio
There is considerable disagreement about God III as to whether the Rain Spirit and Were-Jaguar are one distinct or two separate supernaturals. It has also been proposed that there was no God III at all, and in fact it was the seed phase version of the Maize God (God II).
