    Extractions: Buy one from zShops for: Average review score: Good, but not for dilettantes There are two chief sources for the Norse myths, the Elder (Poetic) Edda and the Younger (Prose) Edda. This is a translation of the Prose Edda and includes the creation of the earth from the remains of the giant Ymir, the death of Baldr, the twilight of the gods (Ragnar¶k), and certain stories of Sigurd and Brynhild (Siegfried and Br¼nnhilde in Wagner's operas). Most translations include only the parts that are "of interest to the general reader", but this one is complete, so you can make your own judgment about which parts to read and which to skip. The translation is solid, though perhaps a little flat at times, and the price is right. Definitely for those with more than a passing interest in Norse mythology, though; if you just want to read the stories without bothering about the literary sources, you might be better off with a retelling, e.g. Favorite Norse Myths by Mary Pope Osborne.

65. The Richmond Review, Book Review, Prince Of Princes: The Life Of Potemkin By Sim
    It was this dedicated classicist, so inspired by the prospect of the conquest of Constantinople (Tsargrad in russian mythology) in the name of the Third Rome  
    http://www.richmondreview.co.uk/books/prince_of_princes.html
    
    Extractions: It is perhaps surprising that Prince Grigory Potemkin has not more often come under the magnifying glass of biographical scholarship. His name has been assimilated into contemporary parlance in a sense that has come to be associated with the Russian nation itself. He has become the embodiment of the brilliant and imposing facade, masking the squalor and dilapidation within, the rotten apple that has become of his old Empire. This has particularly been the case with the often referred to and little understood 'Potemkin villages'. The name of Potemkin has become legend, even having a titular role in the Revolution that was to scar Russia for 74 years. Like most legend he is rarely understood and has become couched in a mythology that only serves to further blur this most unique figure. This scholarly achievement is despite the fact that, in deconstructing the Prince's early life, Montefiore has to rely largely on the spurious accounts of figures such as Saint Jean and Georg von Helbig - figures that the author freely admits to being 'myth-writers'. While the ambiguity of his subject's early life is deftly handled by Montefiore and his account littered with caveats, it merely serves as a background to his later and more impressive rise to the very top of the Imperial hierarchy. The position of power held by Potemkin is almost unfathomable in the modern context of democratic control and the cult of checks and balances. It is likely that this is the reason his power has seemed to dilute with each re-telling and criticism, often founded on envious portrayals released after the Prince's death, colours many accounts. Montefiore falls into no such evidentiary traps.

    Extractions: (Courtesy of Tradestone International Author's Note: The Slavic world is an endlesly fascinating, troubling, dramatic, and dynamic one. Slavic mythology has a strong focus on the sun, warmth, light, birds, fire (and firebirds), epic victories, and brightly painted cosmic bird-eggs. The opposing polarity, the dark, the dead, the cold, the gloomy forests, snakes, drowned spirits (usually female or children), and ruthless hags are feared, even demonized (especially under the influence of Christianity), yet many fairy tales indicate that if this darker world is treated with cautious respect, one will fare well. . . .

67. Zhivaia Starina
    Article about the magazine, published in russian in 80s90s of the XIX century and was a source of information about folklore genres, beliefs, mythology, and other aspects of folk culture.  
    http://www.virginia.edu/~slavic/seefa/ZHIVSTAR.HTM
    
    Extractions: SEEFA Newsletter From 1890 to 1918 the Russian Geographic Society (St. Petersburg) published the journal Zhivaia starina To the present day its publications offer a source of information about folklore genres, beliefs, mythology, and other aspects of folk culture. In 1994 the State Republican Center of Russian Folklore (Moscow) revived " Zhivaia starina ," the main editor being the recently deceased N. I. Tolstoy. The editorial board has taken into consideration the best traditions of its prerevolutionary predecessor. Together with articles on classical genres of folk literature, surveys and reviews, a chronicle of events, and bibliographies of new publications occupy an important place. As though in contradiction to the name of the journal, works about contemporary Russian folklore are given much space. Unlike the old " Zhivaia starina ," the new publication, which comes out four times a year, is richly illustrated. Zhivaia starina " serves as a link between the scholarship of the past and that of the present day. The journal pays particular attention to those scholars who have made the finest contributions to the study of Russian folklore. In the journal's first issue in 1994, articles were devoted to the centenary of the birth of P. G. Bogatyrev; in the second issue A. I. Nikiforov, who is known for his works about the Russian folk tale, is remembered; the third issue for 1995 is dedicated to Vl. Ia. Propp; and in the fourth issue for 1995 materials are presented about P. I. Riabinin-Andreev, one representative from the family of epic singers in Zaonezhia. The journal also strives to establish links between Russian and world scholarship. For example, B. N. Putilov writes about Albert Lord (1994, no. 2) and T. G. Ivanova offers a review of the Russian edition of Lord's book "

    Extractions: Russian epos 1. It is necessary to concern with the big care to comparison epic characters with mythological images. Nevertheless,two basic characters of Russian heroic epos - "Bylinas" - Ilya Muromets and Dobrinja Nikitich were repeatedly compared to pagan gods - Perun and Dazhbog accordingly. It is necessary to recognise there are considerable bases. Symptomatically name of Muromets - Ilya. Prophet Ilya (Saint Elias), as it was already spoken, has replaced Perun in national consciousness. Ilya Muromets victory above the Nightingale-Robber (Serpent-Horned-Falcon Belorussian folklore songs) corresponds to a victory of the God of the Thunder agaimst Serpent. Evolution of the God of Thunder in the hero, certainly, is not absolutely typical (usually a prototype of late heroes of the epos our initial type of the Cultural Hero) naturally serves. However sometimes, for example, in the Scandinavian mythology the God of the Thunder has many features of the hero. In "Younger Edda" the myth about Thor and Heyrred is similar to a history of visiting by Ilya Muromets of Svjatogor's father. The Scandinavian myth tells about how Thor has struck artful giant Heirred in his house, having thrown in him the heated piece of iron. In the Russian legend Ilya stretches to the blind father of giant Svjatogor same iron instead of hand shake. Similar similarity can not be casual. "Verse about Dove Book". (A. Fantalov, 1992).

71. Russia, Folk Tales, Fairy Tales
    If you are interested in purchasing some russian Fairytales, visit my bookstore. This Fairy Tales, Folk Tales and mythology site is owned by Katherine Lawson  
    http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/6422/tale.html
    
    Extractions: This section is a series of Russian Fairy Tales which I have translated. Note: I am really trying to keep this website family safe. However, I am finding it very difficult to find fairy tales to put on this page which are not going to be offensive to someone. I guess the only thing I can do if I wish to include fairy tales on these pages, is to put a note on the ones which someone may find unsuitable. Most of the very traditional ones are the ones which some people now may object to. I am also remembering that when I was a child, I read my fairytales in books which were printed a century and more ago, and they neither gave me nightmares, nor did they turn me into an ax murderer. (And I can't read Steven King without getting nightmares). The first one is a Fairy Tale called "Masha and the Bear" The second one is a fable called "The Crow and the Crayfish" The next story, the Snow Maiden is very dear to my heart. My shop was called Snyegurochka, (Snow Maiden in Russian), because of a little book of the same name sent to me by the lady who did the shop with me. It is also an opera by Rimsky-Korsakov. The next tale is called "Ivan Tsarevich and the Grey Wolf" . It is a very traditional fairy tale, but if you may not want to read it to young children, since Ivan was not really a very admirable character. His gains, as in most of the old fairy tales were through lying and trickery. Also, there is a bit of killing, (although I didn't translate it as graphically as it was in most of my books),which is also not any different than any other version of old fairy tales. Since many people are very sensitive to the old style fairy tales, I used four different versions for my translations to make it as inoffensive as possible. The story is important, because it contains so many of the elements and characters which appear over and over again in Russian Fairy tales.

73. Rambles: Mike Dixon-Kennedy, The Encyclopedia Of Russian & Slavic Myth & Legend
    This book is a solid reference work that should meet the needs of anyone interested in russian and Slavic folklore and mythology.  
    http://www.rambles.net/dixon-k_slavic98.html
    
    Extractions: Pressed between the western world of Europe and the eastern world of Asia, Russia and Slavic countries like Poland, Hungary and Romania are a fertile ground for fairytales and folklore. is the perfect gateway into this lesser-known realm of magic and myth. One of the best aspects of the book are the political and religious discussions for some of the better-known stories. I found the comments on Baba Yaga's regional variations and historical development thought-provoking and balanced through the presentation of different viewpoints. Dixon-Kennedy keeps his editorial comments light, but when he makes them, they are always instructive, such as his explanation for why none of the characters in Granny Snowstorm's stories are ever named. I finished the book with a multi-faceted introduction to the role myth and folktale play in the region's culture. If you have family from Eastern Europe or Russia, is a Santa's bag of riches. Within a half-hour of reading, I discovered why my Ukrainian grandmother talked about Grandma Snow at Christmastime and why my grandfather called my sisters and me "Almafi" whenever he took us to pick apples. Several hours slipped by as I wound through the various stories from my multi-ethnic background, tales that might disappear from lack of being told. For anyone wanting to preserve their cultural heritage, this book is a good place to start. This book is a solid reference work that should meet the needs of anyone interested in Russian and Slavic folklore and mythology. While Dixon-Kennedy's text arrangement is academic, his writing style is surprisingly clear and colorful. The scholar in me wished for more source citations; although Dixon-Kennedy provides a long list of references and recommended reading, he seldom notes where he obtained his information for individual entries. The Polack and Ukrainian in me wished for a more inclusive historical background on the other countries in the region besides Russia. But the folklorist in me was thrilled with the overall quality and thoroughness of

    Extractions: The Baltic and Slavic history and mythology: Baltic peoples in the pantheon have kept all basic mythological types. The god of Clear Sky is Dievas, to the God of the Thunder - is Perkunas, the God of Earth Powers - Veln/Vels (Prussian Patollo), to the Cultural Hero - Sovius; to the Great Goddess - Zemes mate, and also some other. Is evident, that at full structure of Balt pantheon, the type of the Cultural Hero is be relative undeveloped. The western representatives of the given cultural world - the Prussians above all put the embodiment of the God of Earth Powers - Patollo. It is known, that there priests played dominant role, comparable on power and religious refinement with Celtic druids. East Balts (it is especial Lithuanians) where ruled by princes, venerated the God of Thunder (that, probably, it is connected to influence of the Vikings and Thor 's cult). Not probably, the Prussians lost independence (similarly to Celtics) by but the Lithuanians preserved their independence and organised state.

    http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/srp/
    
    Extractions: Sacred Texts Songs of the Russian People by W. R. S. Ralston Contents Start Reading This book, despite its title, is a treasure-trove of Slavic mythology, tradition, folklore and ethnography. There are plenty of songs, not only from Russia but every part of the Slavic region from Serbia to Siberia. The songs are used as a starting point for a wide-ranging discussion of pre-industrial Slavic peasant life, including weddings, funerals, witchcraft, demonology, games, riddles, and seasonal traditions. Also covered are the details of Russian pagan religion and mythology, with comparisons to related topics such as Vedic and Germanic mythology. Lacking are samples or analysis of the songs in the original language (except for a very brief treatment in appendix B), and there are no musical transcriptions or descriptions of dance. However, the massive, well documented, and very entertaining collection of Slavic traditions in this book more than makes up for this deficiency. Title Page
