A Review of Contemporary Research on Croatian Mythology in Relation to Natko Nodilo

Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: In a review article on the subject, I will focus on Natko Nodilo’s study Religija (stara vjera) Srba i Hrvata, na glavnoj osnovi pjesama, priča i govora narodnoga (Religion [Old Faith] of Serbs and Croats, on the Main Basis of Folk Poems, Stories and Narratives) (1885–1890), which is considered the first reconstruction of Ancient Croatian mythology. Namely, all contemporary research on Croatian mythology/old faith partially originates from this reconstruction, therefore, I will devote the second part of this article to Nodilo’s problem as a historian dealing with the interpretations of 19th-century mythophobes regarding the reconstruction of the South Slavic old faith. *** V preglednem članku se avtorica osredinja na študijo Natka Nodila Religija (stara vjera) Srba i Hrvata, na glavnoj osnovi pjesama, priča i govora narodnoga (Religija (stara vera) Srbov in Hrvatov na podlagi ljudskih pesmi, zgodb in pripovedovanja, 1885–1890), ki velja za prvo rekonstrukcijo hrvaške mitologije. Vse sodobne raziskave hrvaške mitologije ali starega verovanja namreč delno izhajajo iz te rekonstrukcije, zato avtorica drugi del članka posveča težavam Nodila kot zgodovinarja, ki se ukvarja z rekonstrukcijo južnoslovanskega starega verovanja, kakor so ga interpretirali mitofobi v 19. stoletju.
