"For the Slavs, the gods are meager, barren; they are outlines drawn by a child's hand, and no living opportunities compared to the image of man. These gods neither marry, nor are they merry, nor do they fight; their throne is not on the purple and gold of the clouds, nor do they walk on the thin air. In other words, these gods They are not anthropomorphic. This is an opinion about the indolence and inappropriateness of the Slavic gods, that even the learned Slavist, L. Leger, recently ruled as follows: "As far as we know about the Slavic gods, they are completely different from Greek anthropomorphism. Apart from exceptions, they have neither families nor genealogies."
