Romanian mythology is an example of "American Gods" in real history, since the territory of modern Romania has long been at the crossroads of cultures and has seen at least three mythological eras: Thracian, Roman and Christian. The mutual influence of religious cults (so-called religious syncretism) eventually led to the formation of the pantheon, consisting of seemingly Christian saints headed by the Christian God, but dig a little deeper, and surprising things become clear: take at least the fact that the world and humanity, if Romanian legends are to be believed, were created by two demiurges at once - light and dark, the very enemy of the human race, or the devil. If we take into account that throughout its history the culture of the people, which is now called Romanian, was also influenced by neighboring cultures, including Slavic, the picture becomes even more complex and beautiful. Showing this intricate beauty and identity is the main task of the book you are holding in your hands, because it is not enough to open the door to a hitherto unexplored world, you have to lure the reader and keep him.
