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Gods" in real history, since the territory of modern Romania has long been at the crossroads of cultures and it has been replaced by at least three mythological eras: Thracian, Roman and Christian. The mutual influence of religious cults (the so-called religious syncretism) eventually led to the formation of a pantheon, consisting of supposedly Christian saints headed by the Christian God, but it’s worth digging a little deeper, and amazing things turn out: take at least the fact that the world and humanity , according to Romanian legends, two demiurges created at once - light and dark, the same 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. To show this intricate beauty and originality is the main task of the book that you hold in your hands, because it is not enough just to open the door to a hitherto unknown world, you must also lure the reader and keep him.
