STUDIA MYTHOLOGICA SLAVICA 12, 2009
Martin Golema:
Christian Hagiographies (The Life of Mary of Egypt, the Life of Marjeta/Marina of
Antioch) and Texts on the So-Called Spring Taking away the Death (Morena) among West Slavs.
An Attempt at Parallel Reading
Abstract
The study builds on research and interpretation of texts of the so called “death (Morena, Mařena, Marzana) carrying-out in spring” among the western Slavs. The author tries to examine an assumption about the existence of a “chemically almost pure” Slavonic mythology goddess embodying death in texts about death carrying-out in spring. He tries to prove that it is a hybrid text unit originating in several text traditions, both in the identifi ed Christian (Byzantine) text store and in early Slavonic myths.
