Romanian Mythology
Romanian mythology is a rich tapestry of folklore, legends, and beliefs that reflect the history and culture of Romania. It features a variety of supernatural beings, including strigoi (undead spirits), zâne (fairy-like creatures), and moșnegi (wise old men). These figures often embody natural elements and human traits, serving as symbols of good and evil.
The mythology is deeply influenced by Dacian traditions, as well as Slavic, Greek, and Roman cultures. Many stories are passed down through oral tradition, highlighting themes of heroism, love, and the struggle between light and darkness. These tales continue to shape Romanian identity and cultural practices today.
