Adranus modern commentators have suggested that Adranus may have been related to the similarly named gods Adar and Adrammelech (from Persia and Phoenicia respectively), who were also personifications of the sun or of fire in general. Adranus Adranus or Adranos (Greek: ) was a fire god worshipped by the Sicels, an ancient population of the island of Sicily. His worship occurred all over the island, but particularly in the town of Adranus, modern Adrano, near Mount Etna. Adranus himself was said to have lived under Mount Etna before being driven out by the Greek god Hephaestus, or Vulcan. According to Aelian,
Love of God Love of God Love of God can mean either love for God or love by God. Love for God ("philotheia") is associated with the concepts of worship, and devotions towards God. The Greek term "theophilia" means the love or favour of God, and "theophilos" means friend of God, originally in the sense of being loved by God or loved by the gods; but is today sometimes understood in the sense of showing love for God. The Greek term "agape" is applied both to the love that human beings have for God and to the love that God has for man.
