[EN] Celto-slavica, essays in comparative mythology.
Comparing two mythologies is always difficult to realise, particularly when one of them has been only kept in modern folklore. Celtic mythology may be collected from ancient and -in the worst case -medieval sources, but for Slavic mythology we must content ourselves with an extensive corpus of tales and epic songs. These tales and songs, however, are richly filled with archaisms, which frequently find no equivalent outside Celtic mythology. This study cannot pretend to propose a complete inventory of these convergences, but it may at least open new grounds for the reflections of comparative mythologists, and shed some new light on narrative elements which has been considered up till now as uniquely Celtic.
