One thing is "gods" used as a mild swear in worlds that have multiple gods. Like, using god as a swear word came about in English for specific reasons in specific contexts. There is no reason to assume that they would have the same swear word in a world where multiple gods are worshiped.

TIL.

Also, now I'm wondering what the swears were like back when multiple gods and goddesses WERE worshipped. Did you say, "Oh Hera!" or "Oh Anubis!"?

Honestly, I'm not sure there would have been swears related to religion. I expect that back then they were pretty much exclusively related to sex and/or bodily functions.

NAYRT—someone must’ve written a book/their doctoral thesis on profanity/oaths in the ancient world, right? Gonna check when I go to work tomorrow.

yes, I can think of at least 3 papers I've skimmed about ancient greek oaths, but damned if i can find the links to them now.

AYRT—I work in a public library that has a subscription to JSTOR, so I know what I’ll be doing if I have any downtime tomorrow.
