Heroes of Slavic Myths. Gods of Antiquity

The most important thing about myths and legends — from gods and monsters to heroes and their great deeds.

Whom did the ancient princes swear by and which gods did they consider the most important? Why did pagans make sacrifices and hold special rituals? And how did it happen that after the Baptism of Rus, many old customs continued to live in popular memory?

The book will tell about the gods of Slavic traditions — about Perun the Thunderer, about wise Veles, about Hors and Dazhdbog. You will learn who called the winds the grandchildren of Stribog, where Semargl the eagle came from, why Mokosh was associated with women's labor, and how our ancestors understood the world.
