Radegast, the fiery god worshipped by the Polabian Slavs at the sacred city of Rethra, bears the patronymic Svarozhich — son of Svarog, inheriting the celestial smith's sacred flame in the westernmost reaches of the Slavic world.
⚠ Some scholars argue that medieval chroniclers confused the name of the sacred city Radgosc (Rethra) with the deity worshipped there, and that Radegast may not be identical with Svarozhich at all.
