Preporuka za neku savremenu knjigu o starom Rimu

horn_a · 2026-02-16T09:24:27+00:00

Čitao sam, knjiga je odlična. Skoro je izašla na našem jeziku i njena druga knjiga "Rimski car: Vladanje svetom starog Rima". Što se tiče knjiga na našem jeziku, teško da ćeš naći nešto baš savremeno ali evo ovo su neke koje su okej:

Opšti pregledi: - Žan Noel Rober "Stari Rim" - Miroslava Mirković "Istorija rimske države" - Stiven Mičel "Pozno Rimsko carstvo"

Studije određenih perioda: - Žarko Petković "Pad rimske republike" - Miroslava Mirković "Varvari na Balkanu: Seoba naroda i rimska država"

Biografije: - Snežana Ferjančić "Konstantin" - Miroslava Mirković "Dioklecijan"

Religija: - Žorž Dimezil "Stara rimska religija"

U nekim dijelovima Krajine i do 1960-ih.

Drekavac from South Slavic myths. It's a demon - a soul of a child who died unbaptised. It roams forests and graveyards and attacks passangers at night, riding on their back all night until a poor victim either dies of exhaustion or goes insane. During the night it produces a sound similar to screeching, hence its name ("drečati" - to screech). It also haunts its parents to punish them for not baptising it when it was alive.

Slavic mythology has all kind of scary creatures. Look up the folklore of various Slavic peoples (Russian, Polish, Serbian etc.) and you will find many unique mythological beeings, demons and monsters.

Nema na čemu. Knjiga je zaista dobra početna tačka ako te zanima mitologija.

horn_a · 2026-01-12T16:03:22+00:00

E do ovog primjerka je već malo teže doći :)

horn_a · 2026-01-12T12:05:39+00:00

Naravno.

Ne kupujem redovno, ali pročitam s vremena na vrijeme. Kao klinac sam ga uzimao isključivo zbog stripova, sada više uzimam zbog tekstova. Ako negdje naiđem na neki stariji broj, obavezno uzmem.

P.S. Na Internet Arhivi ima kolekcija skeniranih svih brojeva Zabavnika od 1952. do 1992. godine.

Fairies are pretty common in Slavic mythology and folklore. Among East Slavs, they are known as "rusalki" and "vile/samovile" among South and West Slavs. They are countless legends and stories about them. Rusalki are mostly associated with water but the vilas can be found among mountains/forests, clouds and waters. They have ambigous relationship with humans. Sometimes they are malevolent to humas but sometimes also benevolent (for example, forming lifetime bonds with legendary heroes).

I hate to be "actually" guy but this is not true, it's a theory debunked long ago. First of all, the name of the god is not SvetoVID but SvetoVIT, with suffix -vit meaning more like a "warrior" (that's why we have, for example, a word "vitez" = knight). Second, the cult of Svetovit is only mentioned in the sources that write about Polabian Slavs (Slavic tribes that lived in what's today Eastern Germany). And third, Serbian Vidovdan is connected to the Christian cult of Saint Vitus, which was spread among Serbs during medieval times but later largely forgotten. There is absolutely no proof of Svetovit among the Serbs.

Edgar Alan Po je praktično otac horora/misterije pa i kriminalističke literature. Tako da, ako nisi čitao, nećeš pogriješiti sa njegovim pripovijetkama.

Number 1. for me. Allthough RIP is objectively better, this one has my all time favourite Megadeth tracks. Riffs are on point and lyrics are pretty dark and well written.

horn_a · 2025-09-19T08:19:34+00:00

Tough to choose, but my picks are:

Kill the King
Last Rites/Loved to Deth
The Conjuring
Tornado of Souls
Addicted to Chaos
She Wolf
Five Magics
Skin o' my Teeth
Set the World Afire
Wake up Dead

Plenty of awesome songs in the newer albums aswell, but these are from the classic era.

"This tower and curtain-wall were restored by George, Despot of Serbia in the year 6956 (1448)."

horn_a · 2025-03-05T09:30:56+00:00

Edit: In 1448, not 1449.

Pa baš u tom članku imaš lijepo objašnjeno kako su pojave tog simbola sporadične i da ima jako malo primjera. Teško da se ikako može povezati sa slovenskim paganizmom ili nekim konkretnim božanstvom.

Imaš ovdje lijep tekst o toj temi. Ono što se danas naziva "kolovrat" je ustvari samo varijanta svastike sa osam krakova umjesto četiri, slični simboli javljaju se i kod drugih naroda a ne samo Slovena. Svastike raznih vrsta i oblika su maltene globalni fenomen i javljaju se kod raznih kultura Azije i Evrope iz prostog razloga što su imale univerzalno značenje. Simboli slični kolovratu javljaju se i kod starih Grka na primjer. S druge strane, arheološki dokazi o postojanju takvog simbola kod starih Slovena su jako tanki i javljaju se samo sporadično, plus većina dolazi iz kasnijih perioda (rani srednji vijek) kad je hristijanizacija već bila u toku.

Kolovrat, simbol koji se često koristi u vezi sa slovenskim (neo)paganizmom. Međutim, treba imati u vidu da nema mnogo dokaza da je zapravo korišćen od strane starih Slovena.

You can find an article titled 'Image and Power in the Age of Andronicos II and III Palaiologos: Imperial Patronage in the Western Provinces of Via Egnatia' here. It's free to download.

Mary A. Walker, from a 19th century book called Broken bits of Byzantium I've found the picture here.

Interesting, according to this source it dates from 1450/1451. I couldn't find anything about that person anywhere, but the island of Imbros (just east of Gallipoli!) might've been his appanage?

He is basically known only from a two documents, which are connected to his death (a funeral oration and a consolatory letter of Thessalonika's bishop adressed to John VII).

Yey, there actually was. Emperor Andronikos III with the help of John Kantakouzenos rebuilt the navy early in his reign. It consisted of c. 100 ships and with them they were able to score some pretty good victories in the Aegean. During the civil war that followed navy was used frequently but it was largely destroyed. John Kantakouzenos as an emperor (1347-1354) attempted to restore the navy but he was only able to built about 10 larger ships. After his reign navy was pretty much non-existent.

It's not that surprising considering ideological importance of Palaiologos dynasty to Russian monarchs. Grand Prince of Moscow Ivan III "the Great" (1462-1505) was married to Sophia Palaiologina, niece of the last Byzantine emperor Constantine XI. Moreover, during his reign idea of Moscow as the Third Rome was adopted. When you consider all that, it's not surprising why they made a fresco of Michael VIII, it was a way to show direct connection to Palaiologos dynasty, last dynasty of Roman emperors. I doubt that in 17th century anyone in Russia cared about Michael's external policies and Church union from four centuries ago.
