	Slavic mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first definitive reference to the Slavs and their mythology in written history was made by the 6th century Byzantine historian Procopius, whose Bellum Gothicum described the beliefs of a certain Southern Slavic tribe who crossed the Danube river heading south in just two days.
		This is contrary to the usual concept in Indo-European mythologies, in which the Sun is usually associated with male deities and Moon with female ones, but identical to the picture in Baltic mythology, which is most closely related to Slavic.

	The Roots of Polish National Identity
		These historians maintained that to be Polish means first of all to be a faithful and reliable citizen of the Polish state and to identify oneself with it, question of one's ethnic origins and religion being of secondary importance.
		When Polish romantic writers, thus Mickiewicz, Słowacki, and Krasiński and likewise emigree politicians of the time, thus Lelewel and Czartoryski, describe in their writings the future Polish state, the image in their mind continues to be that of the old Rzeczpospolita.
		A matter of dispute between the Polish and German historians are the ethnic origins of Mikołaj Kopernik, the astronomer, however, the decisive argument is that he was the subject of Polish king and represented Polish science and Polish political interests abroad.

	Wislok - Chapter 9 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In the early 1970s, when the fieldwork on which the Polish authors base their works was being completed, it might have seemed reasonable to assume that the breaking down of the most obvious barriers within the new population would lead eventually to stable communities.
		The attempts of certain Polish authors and the media to construct a new regional mythology seem likely to be less successful than the efforts of an earlier generation of Polish scholars to fabricate a regional identity for indigenous inhabitants of the mountain zone, who called themselves Rusnaks.
		Polish peasants may remain proud to be owners of their land, and many may have built large modern houses.

	Welcome to Okana's Web - Polish and Slavic Paganism and Pagan Beliefs
		Slavs worshipped in groves and circles, rather than temples; prayers were offered in wooded groves, or at the feet of great boulders, and were accompanied by public offerings, feasting, and prophecy.
		The embracing of Christianity by Polish nobility came in 966, when Poland "officially" became a state in the eyes of the West, and Mieszko ascended the throne.
		Even then, the Lithuanians have held onto their pagan beliefs to this day; the fact that the Polish priests assigned to convert the newly allied Lithuanians to the Roman Catholic faith could not speak the native language went a long way to preserving the traditions of the people.

	Classical Mythology in American Life and Literature to 1855
		I want particularly to investigate the opening-up of mythology's mysteries to people of both sexes who did not go to secondary school and college, and to women in particular--that is, the groups which did not until the nineteenth century have access to classical languages.
		Returning now to the theme of this paper--the democratization of classical mythology in America to 1855, I am using here the older definition of mythology which I believe is still the popular one, a traditional body of knowledge about old stories, and the stories to which I refer are those of Greece and Rome.
		In humbler surroundings, mythology was not presented systematically as something taught by a learned Mystagogus, but rather willy-nilly as an occasional part of life, not really comprehensible to the uninitiated.
