Kresťanské hagiografie (Život Márie Egyptskej, Život Margity/Mariny Antiochijskej) a texty tzv. jarného vynášania smrti (Moreny, Mařeny, Marzany) u západných Slovanov.

Abstract

The study builds on research and interpretation of texts of the so called “death (Morena, Mařena, Marzana) carrying-out in spring” among the western Slavs. The author tries to examine an assumption about the existence of a “chemically almost pure” Slavonic mythology goddess embodying death in texts about death carrying-out in spring. He tries to prove that it is a hybrid text unit originating in several text traditions, both in the identified Christian (Byzantine) text store and in early Slavonic myths.
