## Summary

Slavic mythology is what we can reconstruct from fragments. Pre-Christian Slavic religion was largely oral; its conversion to Christianity (988 CE in Kiev under Vladimir, parallel processes elsewhere) was substantially complete by 1100. Christian chroniclers were systematic in suppressing what they could not absorb. Key sections include: Slav ic.; Opening The fragmented tradition.; Chapter I What we can read.; Chapter II The thunder god.; Chapter III The underworld god.; Chapter IV The earth mother.; Chapter V The wider pantheon.; Chapter VI Domovoy, leshy, vodyanoy.; Chapter VII The water-women.; Chapter VIII The witch..
