Abstract

From the point of ethno-linguistics the article analyses the system of characters presented on the Slavic territory. It explores the functions and distribution of the highest and the lowest mythological characters. Mythological creatures are divided into categories of “good” – “bad”, locative and gender characteristics and functions. The author gives a conclusion about the connection of the naive picture of the world and pagan Slavic views that are depicted in the stable images of the characters in folklore and mythology.
