About this card
Khors (Kors) is a solar god in the Kiev pantheon [S1][S2]. His exact relationship to Dazhbog (the 'day-god') is unclear: the two are both solar/light deities, and their distinction is not well-defined in the sources [S4]. Khors is named in the idol list but given little detail [S4]. Some scholars see Khors as a 'solar' god and Dazhbog as a 'daylight' god; others see them as overlapping [S6].
