Izročilo o jezeru in zmaju kot kozmogonski mit<br>Le leggende dei laghi scomparsi come mito della creazione del mondo</br>

Abstract

Settlement patterns change through time. In Slovenia, some settlements connect their origin to more or less mythical ancestors while others do not remember any of them. The article tries to provide an answer to the question whether traces of cosmogonical myth about the origins of new settlements and communities can be discerned in the tale about the vanished lake.
