Abstract

In 1973, Ivanov and Toporov developed an attempted reconstruction of the presumably central theme of ancient Slavic mythology, viz. the cosmic battle between the thunder-god Perunъ and his adversary Volosъ the cattle god, modelled after the analogous examples taken from Baltic folklore and Vedic mythology, whereby the Slavic god Volosъ was identified with the Vedic demon, Vala. On the same footing, in 2008, came Katicic with similar results, but he identified the Slavic god Volosъ with the Vedic demon Vrtra. However, the evidence from the primary Vedic and Sanskrit sources presented in this treatise soundly disproves the above interpretations and identifications and reveals quite a different image of the Slavic god.

从吠陀语的角度看斯拉夫神沃洛斯/韦莱斯

1973年，伊万诺夫和托波罗夫根据波罗的海民间传说和吠陀神话中的类似例子，试图重建古代斯拉夫神话的中心主题，即雷神佩伦和他的对手牛神沃洛斯之间的宇宙之战，斯拉夫神沃洛斯被认定为吠陀恶魔瓦拉。2008年，在同样的基础上，卡蒂奇也得出了类似的结果，但他将斯拉夫神沃洛斯与吠陀魔鬼弗拉等同起来。然而，这篇论文中提供的主要吠陀和梵语来源的证据有力地反驳了上述解释和认定，并揭示了斯拉夫神的截然不同的形象。

期刊介绍： Studia mythologica Slavica is international scientific journal on the mythology, spiritual culture and tradition of Slavic and also other nations and people. It is published by the Institute of Slovenian Ethnology of the Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and by the Dipartimento di Lingue e Letterature Straniere, Università degli Studi di Udine. The journal is dedicated to interdisciplinary studies, and one of the main aims of this journal is to present comparative research that defines and determines (i.e. establishes) Slavic culture in the context of the wider European and non-European world (cultures). The journal intends to throw light on the belief systems and religions of older Slavic, Eurasian, and other civilisations. Moreover, it encourages the research of contemporary phenomena in the field of spiritual, social and material culture, and their transformation. The character of the publication is both international and interdisciplinary, covering the themes from the field of ethnology, anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, religious studies, history of literature and philosophy. It also brings new interpretations of historical sources and presents new discoveries, material, and field research. The journal was first published in 1998, and since then it has been published once a year in a multi-language edition, in print and on the internet. Each year, it is distributed in exchange for hundred scientific publications from around the world. The articles are published in English, Italian, German and all Slavic languages. All articles have long summaries and an abstract in the English language.
