[[sun]] | [[female-gods]] --- # PIE Goddess, Daughter of the Sun - PIE Sawélyosyo Dhugәtḗr "Daughter of the Sun" - She overlaps with the [Dawn Goddess](dawn.md) who is called the "Daughter of Heaven". In the RV, Uṣas sometimes appears as the daughter of the sun god Sūrya [[jamison1991]]p294, and is given the title ***sū́ ryasya duhitár***. Given the close connection between the sun and the sky god (Dyḗus Ptḗr), with the sun being the eye of Dyḗus Ptḗr, this is no surprise. ## By Branch [[sun-goddess]] ## External Links ["A History of the Female Sun"](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sun-goddess-b-884568)
