Serbian folk literature encompasses the traditional stories, songs, and oral traditions of the Serbian people. It includes epic poetry, ballads, and fairy tales that reflect the culture, history, and values of Serbia. These narratives often feature heroic figures, mythical creatures, and moral lessons, passed down through generations. The literature is primarily transmitted orally, with many works recorded in the 19th century by collectors like Vuk Karadžić. His efforts helped preserve these tales, which are integral to understanding Serbian identity and heritage. Today, Serbian folk literature continues to influence contemporary art and literature in the region.
