| | BookRags: Triglav Summary |
 | | TRIGLAV, a three-headed deity of the heathen Slavs, was literally named: from tri,"three," and glava, "head." Worship of him in the temple at Szczecin (Stettin), Pomerania, is attested by Herbord, Ebbo, and Monachus Prieflingensis, the three biographers of Otto, a twelfth-century bishop of Bamberg. |
 | | The fl horse and the mention of the underworld suggest Triglav's ties with Veles-Volos, the god of death and the underworld, a deity standing in opposition to Sventovit, the god of heavenly light, who was associated with a white horse. |
 | | Triglav may also have been related to Chernoglav, the "fl god," who had a silver mustache and who was worshiped at Rügen, as mentioned in the Knytlingasaga (1265). |
