Serbian folklore
Serbian folklore is the folk traditions among ethnic Serbs.
The earliest examples of Serbian folklore are seen in the pre-Christian Slavic customs transformed into Christianity.
[1] In Krajište and Vlasina there are epic stories of the extermination of Romans in a battle, and of the settling of Serbs (Antes)[2][3] Unlike East Slavic mythology, south slavic mythology distinguishes between two different kinds of dragons: the benevolent zmej and the malevolent ala.[4] Serbian epic poetry is a form of epic poetry written by Serbs originating in today's Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
The main cycles were composed by unknown Serb authors between the 14th and 19th centuries.
The corpus of Serbian epic poetry is divided into cycles:
