| | European dragon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The later Babylonian dragon worshiped by the court of the Persian Cyrus the Great, in the Hebrew narrative in Bel and the Dragon probably dates to the late 2nd century BCE. | | | Dragons of Slavic mythology hold mixed temperaments towards humans. | | | For example, dragons in Bulgarian mythology are either male or female, each gender having a different view of mankind. |

| | Such an assumption is a consequence of the paucity of knowledge about Slavic mythology. | | | ...the native Eastern Slavic religion was assumed to be a collection of some animistic beliefs with an inpersonalised "Mother Moist Earth" as a dominant, agricultural deity. | | | This page from Ainsley Friedberg on Slavic Gods and Goddesses is divided into "Minor Deities" and "Greater Pantheon." The alphabetized data is quite interesting (although sources aren't noted). |

| | Background to Bulgarian Myth & Folklore |
| | The Slavic thunder god, Perun, was reincarnated as the Christian St Ilya, and pagan folk festivals and rituals continued with a thin veneer of the new religion. | | | The realm of the dead lay at its roots, the world of living creatures at its trunk and heaven rose at its crown. | | | The ferocity of these battles gave rise to thunderstorms and lightening, linking the zmey to the Slavic thunder god, Perun. |

| | The Gods also left one of their Dragons to guard their dreadful treasure, and ordained that the half-mortal demi-God Orr should be the eternal keeper of the bracelet, and provided him with an amulet by which one could control and command the Dragon. | | | During the days of the Gods’ decline, the Nordics, hoping for the future revival of their Clan, concealed the bracelet of Lordship deep in unmapped marshes, in lands where eons later would settle mortal tribes of Slavs. | | | Wolf was the last to survive of a small Clan and hoped with the power of the Gods’ bracelet to revive his Clan and build a mighty kingdom in the Slavic lands

| | Aleksandar Loma : Prakosovo |
| | Viewed cosmologically, a god like Perun personifies the celestial fire, but functionally he is above all the giver of the fertilizing rain; sociologically he represents the model and the patron of terrestrial warriors, and politically a local hypostasis of him could have developed into a multifunctional tribal deity. | | | The author of the deception was obviously the divine patron of the rite, most probably the Slavic war god, who is here, as often elsewhere, substituted by St. Elijah “the Thunderer”. | | | Among the Serbs no epic poem is recorded before 1497, and from the preceding two centuries we have only a couple of isolated verses more or less probably recognized in Church Slavonic texts, as well as a few mentions of the folk-song performers or pictorial representations of them. |

| | The origin of Slavic vampire myths developed during 9th C as a result of conflict between pre-Christian paganism and Christianity. | | | This split caused a big difference in the development of vampire lore - the Roman church believed incorrupt bodies were saints, while the Orthodox church believed they were vampires. | | | Christianity won out with the vampires and other pagan beliefs surviving in folklore. |

Moskov among others, is that the Khanslist originated as an inscription in Greek and was later translated into Slavic and rendered into Cyrillic, the Slavic text is a clumsy translation from the Greek (M.
