Deipaturos (Doric Greek: Δειπάτυροϛ, Deipáturos; lit. "sky-father")^[1] was a deity worshipped in ancient times as the Sky Father in the region of Tymphaea.^[2]^[3]

Description

Deipáturos was recorded by the Greek grammarian Hesychius of Alexandria (fifth or sixth century AD), in an entry of his lexicon named "Deipáturos, a god among the Stymphians" (Δειπάτυροϛ θεὸϛ παρὰ Στυμϕαίοιϛ). Deipaturos was worshipped as the Sky Father (*Dyēus-Ph₂tḗr), a linguistic cognate of the Vedic Dyáuṣ Pitṛ́, Greek Zeus Patēr and Roman Jupiter.^[2]^[1]

Deipáturos is considered an Illyrian theonym.^[4]^[5]

According to Martin L. West, "the formal parallelism between the names of the Illyrian Deipaturos and the Messapic Damatura ["earth-mother"] may favour their having been a pair, but evidence of the liaison is lacking."^[6]
