Searching for Women in Slavic Mythology: Where to Find Them? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Dawn broke—the monk had disappeared . . . And now the frightened children say He haunts the pool: and lo! his beard Floats on the water night and day.”-The Roussalka by Alexander Pushkin Women in Slavic Mythology: What to Expect in This Reading?Studying mythology has always been a jolly hobby of mine.
