Summary

Aleksander Gieysztor: Mythology of the Slavs

The book "Mythology of the Slavs" by Alexander Gieysztor, according to the JLZ General Encyclopedia (1982), is based on a comparison and analysis of available historical sources and folklore in order to reconstruct Old Slavic mythology. Gieysztor's work is crucial to understanding the pagan beliefs of the Slavs because it offers a systematic approach to the study of this topic, linking archaeological findings with written sources and folklore material. 

Gieysztor applied a comparative method, comparing data from various historical sources, such as chronicles and reports from the early Middle Ages, with archaeological finds and later folklore heritage.

The goal of the book is to reconstruct the pagan religious system of the Slavs, which was poorly documented, but had a significant impact on culture and identity.

The work has become a standard and indispensable work for anyone who deals with Slavic mythology, provides a detailed insight into beliefs and rituals before Christianization.
