Ms Perkons said it was unsatisfactory because she had not contacted any clients, and when Ms Sluggett had asked for an extension of time Dr Vreugdenhil refused.

Ancient chronicles mention Perkons (the Thunder) as the highest deity of Baltic tribes, and archaeologists are of the same opinion.
In the majority of these songs Perkons appears (together with his family - sons, daughters, daughters-in-law —Perkons is the only Latvian deity having such a large family) as a personification of fertility.
In this aspect, the images of Perkons and Dievs have merged; such a syncretic view is maintained by the many beliefs in which Perkons is simply a natural phenomenon - thunder - representing the activities of other mythological beings.
