Митските слики на јужните Словени

This book, written by Nikos Chausidis, deals with the pagan religion and mythology of the South Slavs, focusing on their pre-Christian spiritual culture. The book explores symbols, myths, deities, mythical figures, rituals, and magical practices.

A key feature of the book is its approach to the subject through visual representations, such as those found on objects belonging to the Slavs. The author analyzes these mythical images through symbolic analysis and comparison with similar examples from other Indo-European peoples. The book is supported by over a thousand documented drawings and diagrams.

The author explains that the book is not a historical account of South Slavic paganism or a summary of previous research on the topic. Instead, it aims to act as a bridge connecting ancient Slavs and their pagan religion and mythology with modern Slavs and the still-living elements of traditional religion and myth. The primary material for the research comes from archaeology and ethnology.
