For centuries, Romania has been at the crossroads of cultures—hence the diverse languages spoken and the beliefs in disparate deities. This environment gave rise to a multifaceted mythological system, featuring spirits of good and bad luck, where the days of the week come alive, where strigoi, angels, and devils meet, and where the courageous Fat-Frumos battles monsters.

A separate layer is made up of apocryphal myths, in which Christian motifs are intertwined with much more ancient beliefs, and God and the Devil are not only eternal antagonists but also co-creators.

"Myths and Legends of Romania" is a collection of stories, fairy tales, superstitions, and songs of the Romanian people, recorded by folklorists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, translated and retold by folklore and mythology researcher Natalia Osoianu.
