Would you consider Svarog to be a phantom deity ? I think there is only one source that mentions him ( correct me if I’m wrong) and I’ve heard people say that he was created as a Slavic version of the Greek god Hephaestus. I don’t have any source for this but it is something I’ve heard some people say.

Hello!

That’s right, there’s only one source that mentions Svarog. However he wasn’t necessarily created as a Slavic version of Hephaestus, the story is a little more complicated than that.

In the entry for year 1114 of the Tale of Bygone Years the author includes a translated fragment of a Byzantine chronicle with a glossa that equates Hephaestus to Svarog and Helios to Daždbog. The Byzantine chronicle in question was originally writen in Greek by John Malalas, who was in turn drawing heavily from 3rd century BC „Egyptian History” by Manetho. In Malalas’ text names of Egyptian deities were replaced by the Greek gods viewed as their counterparts, so Ptah became Hephaestus and Ra became Helios. It’s believed that the glossa adjusted the names one more time, in the same fashion, so that they resonate with local readers. And thus we came to view Svarog as the god of fire and smithing similar to Hephaestus and Daždbog as the god of the sun akin to Helios.

We don’t actually know if the glossa was contributed by the translator of the Byzantine text into Slavonic (who was most likely Bulgarian according to Gieysztor) or by the author of the Tale of Bygone Years. So we don’t know in what year or in which region it was created either and we can’t say much about how familiar the writer was with pagan customs of Rus. It’s very likely that the author was a Christian monk.

Dažbog appears in the Tale of Bygone Years a few more times, most notably in an earlier entry for year 980 where he is mentioned as part of kniaz’ Volodymyr’s state pantheon of pagan gods.

„And Vladimir began to reign alone in Kiev. And he placed idols on the hill outside the palace: a Perun in wood with a silver head and a gold moustache, and Khors and Daždbog and Stribog and Simargl and Mokoš. And they offered sacrifices and called them gods, and they took their sons and daughters to them and sacrificed them to the devils. And they profaned the earth with their sacrifices, and Rus’ and that hill were profaned by blood. But God the merciful, who does not wish the death of sinners, on that hill stands today the church of Saint Vasilij, as we will relate later.”

„Then, during the reign of Oleg, son of the Unfortunate, the seed of discord was sown and flourished, the life of the son of Dažbog was extinguished, amid the internal struggles of the princes, curtailing their future generations.”

„The troops of the son of Dažbog were overcome with sorrow, humiliation entered the lands of Trojan”

- Tale of Bygone Years via Sources of Slavic Pre-Christian Religion, red. J. A. Álaverez-Pedrosa

He is also mentioned in passing in „Sermon by the Holy Father Saint John Chrysostom”.

*The varied spelling of his name as either „Daždbog” or „Dažbog” I lifted directly from the „Sources of Slavic Pre-Christian Religion” that I’m relying on for both the original text of the sources and their English translations.

Svarog does not appear again in any of the writings we know of — but Svarožic does. Svarožic is one of the best attested Slavic deities and the only one found in primary sources from more than one group of Slavs — we found mentions of him in both the primary sources about Polabian Slavs and in the homiletic works of Kyivan Rus.

To the best of my knowledge he is mentioned in:

Letter to Emperor Henry II from Bruno of Querfurt,

The Chronicle of Thietmar of Merseburg,

„Deeds of Bishops of the Hamburg Church” by Adam of Bremen (where he appears as Redigast, though the description of him and the town where he is worshipped matches the one by Thietmar, leading some slavists to view the name as an error and others as an epithet derived from the main place of worship),

„Sermon by Saint Gregory, Found in the Comments, on How the Ancient Nations, When Pagan, Worshipped Idols and Offered Sacrifices to Them, and Continue to Do So Now”,

„Sermon by the Holy Father Saint John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, on How the First Pagans Believed in Idols”,

„Sermon by One Who Loves Christ and Is a Jealous Defender of the Righteous Faith”.

The name Svarožic is usually interpreted in one of two ways:

- as a patronymic meaning „the son of Svarog”, - as a diminutive meaning „Little Svarog”.

Feel free to come to your own conclusions.

Now as to what I personally think about Svarog (please keep in mind that I have no formal education in slavic studies, and that my opinions may change in the future as a result of my personal research), well in my own practice I currently view him and Svarožic as the same deity, to which I refer as Svarožic. I decided to do so because this form is much better attested. Additionally I subscribe to the theory that the name Svarožic may have been used as a diminutive to avoid a taboo on pronouncing the true name of the deity. Although in my best hypocritical fashion I do not refer in diminutives to Perun about whom similar theories were put forward. In general the name taboos in Slavic culture are a very broad and fascinating subject that I couldn’t possibly summarize in here. To finish off I will note that there are many slavists who believe Svarožic to be the son of Svarog and also many who believe them to be one — so we are given a chance to make up our own minds and follow whatever the hell feels right to us personally.

Medieval Influence in Goncharov (1973)

Something that I haven't seen discussed much in this site's new obsession with Goncharov (1973) is how Matteo JWHJ 0715 incorporates a particular thread of Neapolitan folklore into the setting -- which is fair, because I don't know how well-known this material is outside of Naples. Actually, I don't know how well-known it is within modern Naples, either, because I only know the medieval version.

See, the poet Virgil is heavily associated with Naples (his supposed tomb is there too), and by the medieval period a legend had grown up painting him as a sort of protector of the city. (Yes, this is why Andrey quotes the Aeneid in that one monologue.) Most of this protecting was done via the creation of magical objects -- popular legend attributed supernatural knowledge to Virgil, granting him genius in areas other than poetry... it's a whole thing. I dunno, we'll do an episode on it one of these days, assuming I can get my hands on the primary sources. But I digress.

In one scene, Goncharov is speaking with Ambrosini as they walk through the city streets. They stop for a moment of rather tense conversation near what seems to be a part of the old city walls, though it doesn't appear to correspond to any actually-extant architecture. Goncharov leans on the left side of an archway as he speaks, and you may have noticed the rather distressed-looking face carved into the arch. Here is a section from Comparetti's "Vergil in the Middle Ages":

(He's quoting from Gervase of Tilbury, if you're wondering.) So clearly the moment at the arch is meant to recall this and foreshadow that Goncharov's efforts are doomed to end only in tragedy, failure, and death.

We see this again on the trip to Pompeii -- there's a shot of the car, from a significant distance and height, with an old statue of an archer in the foreground. The way the car passes through the shot, it looks almost as though it's an arrow being fired from the archer's bow. Comparetti again:

Another bad omen, this time foreshadowing the destruction wrought in the Pompeii scene.

Finally, there is the case of the clock. Yes, I know, there are a lot of clocks in Goncharov (1973), it's a motif. I'm talking about that ornate one with the painting of an idealized city scene on the face. The one with a crack in the glass. Once more from Comparetti:

(That's Conrad von Querfurt, who was in Naples as an agent of the Holy Roman Empire in the late 12th century, if you want some context.) So does the clock evoking this glass bottle show us that Naples is still vulnerable to hostile powers, like the Russian mafia as represented by Goncharov? Is it part of the general statement of futility, of an inability to fight against one's inevitable doom? Honestly I think there's a lot of room for argument here.

So what can we take away from all of this? How do we better understand Goncharov (1973) through this lens? I don't know, I'm not a film critic. Honestly, I'm mostly working off of a presentation I half-recall seeing at a conference in Kalamazoo, and I don't remember what the conclusion was. They had a number of other examples, too, but all those citations are lost in time, like tears in the rain. (To be fully honest, I think I was distracted because it was nearly time for lunch and I hadn't eaten all day.) The only reason I can reconstruct any of it is because I have a copy of Comparetti on hand and I skimmed through the relevant section to see what jogged my memory.

In conclusion... i guess? Rewatch Goncharov (1973)? I don't know how to end this post.

Oh, and I hope the image descriptions on those quotations work for screen readers.
