Abstract

There are two interesting cases of the worship of Roman period deities in the north-eastern Italian and Pannonian regions, which in one way or another seem to have survived through the early medieval to modern times. The first is the cult of Belenus, the well-known Celtic and most notably Norican and Aquileian god. The second case is that of Cybele and Attis, the so-called eastern deities, whose cult became highly influential in the mentioned areas – as well as elsewhere – in the second and third centuries AD. Interestingly, a deity called “holy Belin” was documented in the second half of the 19th century in the area of Tolmin in Slovenia (the hinterland of Aquileia), as a traditional folk belief. In Pannonia, traces of the cult of Cybele and Attis seem to have survived from antiquity in Prekmurje and Porabje (Slovenia, Hungary), reflected in the unusual and still existing custom of the “wedding with a pine-tree”.

贝勒努斯、赛贝尔和阿提斯：几个世纪以来他们的邪教回声

在意大利东北部和潘诺尼亚地区，有两个对罗马时期神灵的崇拜的有趣案例，它们似乎以某种方式从中世纪早期一直延续到现代。第一个是对贝勒努斯(Belenus)的崇拜，贝勒努斯是著名的凯尔特神，最著名的是诺里坎神和阿奎列神。第二个例子是所谓的东方神灵西布莉和阿提斯，他们的崇拜在公元2世纪和3世纪在上述地区以及其他地方变得非常有影响力。有趣的是，19世纪下半叶，在斯洛文尼亚的托尔明地区(阿奎莱亚的腹地)，有一种被称为“神圣的贝林”的神被记载为一种传统的民间信仰。在潘诺尼亚，古Prekmurje和Porabje(斯洛文尼亚，匈牙利)对Cybele和Attis的崇拜的痕迹似乎从古代的Prekmurje和Porabje幸存下来，反映在“松树婚礼”的不寻常和仍然存在的习俗中。

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.
