The Sky God is a male deity.
Long ago, most stories were told about the Sky God. However, a spider named Anansi strove to become the subject of these stories instead. He told the Sky God about his intentions, and the deity agreed to his request. Before giving over his stories, the Sky God required Anansi to bring him three objects: a swarm of bees, a python, and a leopard. Anansi fulfilled the three tasks, and, as a result, stories about the Sky God dwindled, while stories about Anansi became commonplace.
Biography[]
Early life[]
The Sky God lived in Africa. He was initially the subject of most stories.[1]
Anansi's request[]
Anansi the spider desired to be as prominent as the Sky God, and so he asked the deity what he should do to achieve his goal. The Sky God told Anansi that he must prove himself worthy by completing three difficult tasks: capture a swarm of bees, a python, and a leopard. Anansi successfully completed all three tasks, and the Sky God deemed him worthy to be the subject of the world's stories. From that day on, stories about the Sky God dwindled, while stories about Anansi spread far and wide.[1]
