What this means
Records whose own statements name this tradition — 4 of them. Computed from those statements, not curated here, and ordered by how widely each is linked across Wikipedia — those at home in the tradition’s collection first, and those with a picture first among the leading few — rather than by significance to the tradition.
A god named in a tradition is a figure of its accounts; a picture of one is a work of art, not a likeness.
