Another from the Kemetic pantheon is Ra. The Egyptians believed that every night the sun would die. Ra would travel through the duat all night with the help of other deities and when He would reach Asar, Asar would help Him be reborn the next morning.

That's pretty cool! I hadn't heard that one.

I'll see if I can find the myth and post it for you guys. All I remember is that Djehuty and Ma'at would guide His boat(forgetting the technical term) through the duat while His Eye would defend the boat from the chaos monsters that would attack trying to keep Ra from being reborn.

I apologize for not reading all the way through the conversation, I skimmed, but I kinda like that my Gods do die. That in their own way they are both immortal and not. It's a subtle and powerful reminder to me that I have to live a good life so I don't regret death and so I can meet it and die a warrior.
