The Gods of the Earth in the Theosi faith reside in a palace called Trypóno. The palace is depicted as being accessible through unexpected natural earthen places – the back of a cave, a hillside crevice, hidden in a grove of trees, and, most commonly, by entering through a hole in a giant tree.
Trypóno is ruled by Thirío, the god of animal life, creator of all of the unintelligent creatures of the surface world, and by his wife Iouloúdia, creator of all of the plant life on the earth. Their three children also reside there: Arotro, the god of agriculture and livestock (essentially, the god of domesticating nature); Kynígi, the goddess of hunting and of the untamed wilds who is sometimes depicted as the patron of maidens who do not wish to marry, and women who seek nontraditional paths in life; and Kósmimo, the god of mountains and of the earth’s metals, gems, and mineral resources. He is also the god of the forge as well as of builders and architects.
