I have been thinking and realized KSP has ancient gods, maybe from an older civilization. The gods are:

Hermes: Moho

Aphrodite: Eve

Ares: Duna

Demeter: Dres

Zeus: Jool

Hades: Eeloo

 

I'd love to hear suggestions on what greek and Kerbal gods I'm missing. Comment down below!

Kerbals are monotheists and praises only one God... Primus Kerman...
Inscriptions found arround the Pyramids Shrine says the Kerbal world originated from a battle between Primus Kerman and the Kraken...

Doesn't mean he's their only deity.

There are no gods. There is only the Kraken.

The Kerbals live in a strange and cruel universe, beyond the worst nightmares of our human Lovecraft, for even he admitted the existence of human gods, albeit weak, poor and capricious, but the Kerbals have no-one except the cold, horrific maleficence of the one who waits in the darkness. The primal gibbering between the planets, the unintelligible voids and weird, unnatural spaces. The utter remove and inaccessibility of the other stars, despite the false and taunting promise of infinite speed, thrusting them ever deeper into the soft velvet grip of madness.

There is only the Kraken. Sooner or later all saves are abandoned...or worse, corrupted by his blind, groping touch.

Isn't it more than the Kerbol system is based on ours, and our planetary naming is based on old gods? If there is a planetary analogue (which there is for everything except maybe Ike and Gilly) then there is a god for it. Several, probably :)

Well If we equate Jupiter with Jupiter(Roman Zeus) Then Jool is named after the god Jool.

Moho, the Divine hound, fast as the wind
Eve, Goddess, usually shown with many beautiful amethysts
Duna, Warlord of the Kerbal pantheon.
Dres, No one cares about Dres
Jool, Mightiest of the Gods and king of the heavens. He is surrounded by his harem of minor dieties, each representing one of the 5 stages of grief (Tylo is depression, as in the depression you make when you impact it in a failed landing)
Eeloo I think is not Hades or Pluto, but rather like Charon. As Charon guides souls to cross the river Styx, Eeloo crosses orbital planes with Jool, but must always return to the far side, and remain there for most of its travels.

Wow that's deep. 

It's probably this. There is no God, only Kraken. The Kraken is going to take over KSP forever, but when will he?

Not to derail too much from the topic of planetary gods, but if the Kerbol system is anything like ours, then "Kerbin" (which I don't think I've seen anyone mention in this thread so far) probably literally translates to "earth" or something similar. Which by extension means that the word "kerbal" is equivalent to "earthling".

Kerbin - God: Silenus - Fatter than expected.

Duna - Goddess: Pyrrha - The colour of fire.

Eve - God: Sisyphus - Charged with a task both impossible and futile (For me anyway).

Dres - God: Lelantos - Known to go unobserved.

Moho - Goddess: Hestia - In charge of the fireside.

Eloo - God: Hercules - Known for far-ranging adventures.

Fictional mythology is fine, but please keep in mind that discussions of religion never end well, and have been ruled out of bounds for our forum (2.2.b). 

How dare you claim the Kraken as fictitious mythology!  Beware!  If one day, very soon, you encounter a not-so-random explosion or spaghettified Kerbal, you only have yourself to blame!
