Description
Abstract (cited)
[FR] Comparer deux mythologies est toujours un exercice difficile, surtout lorsque l’une d’elle n’est essentiellement conservée que dans le folklore contemporain. Si les Celtes bénéficient de sources au mieux antiques, au pire médiévales, les Slaves, eux, doivent le plus souvent se contenter d’un vaste corpus de contes et de chants épiques. Cependant, ces contes et chants sont particulièrement riches en archaïsmes, lesquels bien souvent ne trouvent d’équivalent que dans la mythologie celtique. L’article n’a pas la prétention de proposer un inventaire complet des convergences en question, mais au moins d’ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de réflexion aux mythologues comparatistes et d’apporter parfois un éclairage nouveau sur des éléments que l’on pensait jusqu’ici uniquement celtiques.
[EN] Celto-slavica, essays in comparative mythology.
Comparing two mythologies is always difficult to realise, particularly when one of them has been only kept in modern folklore. Celtic mythology may be collected from ancient and -in the worst case -medieval sources, but for Slavic mythology we must content ourselves with an extensive corpus of tales and epic songs. These tales and songs, however, are richly filled with archaisms, which frequently find no equivalent outside Celtic mythology. This study cannot pretend to propose a complete inventory of these convergences, but it may at least open new grounds for the reflections of comparative mythologists, and shed some new light on narrative elements which has been considered up till now as uniquely Celtic.
