	PETER, EPISTLES OF,
		The First Epistle claims to be from “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ” (1:1), “a witness of the sufferings of Christ” (5:1), “by Silvanus, a faithful brother” (5:12).
		It is written in excellent Greek, reflects a knowledge of certain Epistles of St. Paul, and accurately cites the Greek Septuagint, instead of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament.
		If St. Peter was the author (either by himself or “by Silvanus”), the Epistle probably dates from ad 64 to 65, or just after persecution of Christians began in Rome under the emperor Nero.

	First Epistle of Peter - Wikinfo
		One theory is that it was written by Silvanus, who is mentioned towards the end (5:12) of the epistle.
		In the following verse the author includes greetings from "she that is in Babylon, elect together with you," taken for the church "in Babylon", which may be an early use of this Christian title for Rome, familiar from the Apocalypse of John.
		If Silvanus himself wrote this work, then it could have been written much later, but because bishop Polycarp(Phil 1:3; 8:1; 10:2) and Papias allude to this letter, it must have been written before the mid-2nd century.

		Two divinities of the woods were SILVANUS [sil-vay'nus or sil-va'nus], "Forester," and FAUNUS [faw'nus], "Favorer." In Vergil, Faunus is son of Picus and grandson of Saturn and father (by Marica) of Latinus.

	Basic Deity Types, by Alexei Kondatriev
		Because today most of our exposure to mythology takes place through the literary creations of the Greeks and Romans, we're conditioned to think of it in a literary way and to demand of it a degree of internal logic and consistency which living mythological traditions usually don't have (or which they approach differently).
		Trying to use the Irish and Welsh "mythologies" as the basis for a consistent Celtic theology is ultimately fruitless, because they were never designed to be functioning religious systems, but are literary creations elaborated long after the religion in which they had originated had ceased to be practiced.
		This god is associated with youth, vigour and growth, and particularly the power of the waxing Year as the days grow longer, which sometimes led him to become an "Apollo" in the 'interpretatio Romana', although the usual Celtic "Apollo" is a different god.

	Neverwinter Nights: Why compare Faerun to alternate medieval Europe(spinoff thread)
		Gaelan: That makes good sense, but at the same time implies that the majority of the posters on this forum that so closely tie Faerun/forgotten realms to Medieval Europe mythology are all much older and set in their ways.
		It's not so much that Faerun doesn't include European mythology and concepts as it is that it isn't exclusively European in mythology or concepts, nor is it intended as a direct analogue of medieval Europe.
		Silvanus and Chauntea could easily trace their origin from a composite of european nature deities...
