Ukko is a god of the sky, weather (especially thunder), and the harvest in Finnish paganism. Though often invoked in myths, he rarely appears. Modern sources frequently call Ukko the king of the gods, though that may be an error caused by comparing him to the Greek god Zeus.

Captain Hook "had been at a famous public school. Its traditions still clung to him.... Above all he retained the passion for good form. Good form! However much he may have degenerated, he still knew that this is all that really matters."
- J. M. Barrie, "Peter Pan"

Thoth was an Egyptian moon god. The moon's phases made it pivotal in early astrology / astronomy, and its cycles organized much of Egyptian society's rituals and events. Thus, Thoth became seen as a god of wisdom, and of the measurement and regulation of events and time.
