Thena

Would you like to see a semi adaptation of this story where Avengers, X-Men and Eternals unite to stop Arishem from destroying the world?

Some of them can be easily spotted, like Ajak, Ikaris, Phastos, Makkari, Thena are related to Greek mythology and legends, Gilgamesh is Mesopotamian. Sersi may need a little dig to find out to be Circe (who is a minor figure). Sprite is Puck. But with Kingo and Druig I have no clue. Maybe they are just made up?

Firstly, I do not intend on causing any controversy. I am just expressing my own observations. While watching the trailer, I noticed certain parallels with the Hindu beliefs:-

• Ikaris and Shiva/Vishnu- Both are somewhat stoic in nature. Shiva and Vishnu are described as a beings of pure energy. Vishnu is described as the protector and Shiva is described as the destroyer and renewer.

• Sersi and Parvati/Lakshmi- Parvati and Lakshmi are both described as Goddesses of fertility, prosperity, growth and sustenance of the world. Parvati and Laksmi are the consorts of Shiva and Vishnu, respectively.

• Phastos and Viswakarma- Viswakarma is the inventor God who constructs weapons and devices for other Gods.

• Gilgamesh and Hanuman- Both are extremely strong, but light-hearted and devoted towards their cause.

• Thena and Durga- Durga is a warrior Goddess who conjures different forms and weapons to eliminate 'demons'.

• Ajak and Dhanvantri- Dhanvantri is the deity of Healing and hospitality.

So, If these connections are intentional, Marvel has done a fabulous job at intertwining world history and beliefs with the history of the Eternals. :)
