In various mythologies, the term "Gods of Destruction" refers to deities responsible for ending life or causing chaos. These gods often play a crucial role in the cycle of creation and destruction, ensuring balance in the universe. They may be associated with natural disasters, war, or the end of the world, reflecting the duality of creation and annihilation.
In Hinduism, for example, Shiva is known as the destroyer within the Trimurti, which includes Brahma the creator and Vishnu the preserver. Similarly, in Egyptian mythology, Set is a god associated with chaos and destruction, often opposing the order represented by Osiris and Isis.
