someone's nose, or advertising Belaj's book here (God forbbid!), but the studies of two of them are the latest and among finest works on the field of Slavic mythology, so well founded and argumented that I doubt anyone could refute their interpretations. Of course, I (and they as well) may be wrong. You can never be sure in things like these. That is why, in every Slavic mythology article I edit, I always briefly state the names of scholars whose interpretations and reconstructions seem to be most correct and supported by most arguments. Even if their theories seem somewhat fringe (equine apperance, yes), I, as briefly as one can, try to explain how these theories came about and list arguments for them; I'm not stating it's a fact, I'm stating it's their theory. While I'm not suporter of fringe theories in any form, with Slavic mythology, I doubt we will ever be able to claim much of anything with certainity; thus, an argumented, educated guess is probably better than no guess at all. I think it is certainly better to list theories and speculations of people who spent half of their lives in Slavic studies, than to draw "facts" from Book of Veles and the like.

So, it is a complex matter which should better be explicitely discussed in the article.

1022:"Ja" of "birth". This meaning cloud seems to segue nicely into "year", "new year" and other cyclic time meanings. But "Jara" also carries strong connotations of "aging lover". The connection with St. George is not casual, i think; it's likely that George usurped what might have been Jarilo's (et al) "throw off the yoke of the old dragons/snakes" symbolism entirely. Jove, Jehova, and Zeus- parallel developments?

Mesjac-Knjaz (Księżyc) is a god of moon, originated from Proto-Indo-European lunar deity (*mḗh₁n̥s). He has nothing to do with Yarilo, who is a deity of spring fertility (from Proto-Slavic *jaro "spring"), and there are no parallels between the two. If Jarilo was a lunar deity, they were probably not

Many of names in the Slavic
Pantheon (those not connected with the Sarmatians) are strongly cognate with older Indo-European languages. Sanskrit "Jaraya" means "afterbirth" or "the molted skin of a snake"; and "Jara" is a very thoroughly developed root for "aged", which relates to the (also Sanskrit)

Please see the works of
Radoslav Katcic and Vitomir Belaj onto the reconstruction of this myth. They examine various folk songs and traditions there with the sources mentioned. I suppose that they can be wrong with Jarilo being born on the last day of February, as the original Slavic New Year and the

Which again, bring us to conclusion that part: "Serbo-Croatian: Jura, Juraj or Đorđe" is very wrong. If there is one language, but names are exclusive for each nation, how can be logically possible to state that name od that deity comes in ONE, "Serbo-Croatian" language? (but as I mentioned earlier:

I can find no evidence for the "myth" of
Yarillo expressed in this article as having been born on the last day of February or noticed by Morena, the goddess of death, etc. I have searched the reference mentioned at the end of the article to no avail, as well as every authoritative source that I own
883:
The problem with the
Belarusian version of Jarilo is that the source it comes from is Drevlyansky's "Belarusian folk traditions" (1846), a book of disputed reliability. The doubts were expressed already in XIX century and are not at all discarded today. For example Levkievskaya in here recent work

Vasmer's theory takes into account only the
Russian Jarilo straw-doll. But in Belarus Jarilo was a girl dressed as a man on a horse, and in various other countries, there were various other representations of Jarilo/Jare/Jura. I would not like to seem pushy, like I'm rubbing Katicic studies up
860:, so an explanation as to how these are related could have been helpful. Also, the equinine appearance of Jarilo seems to be quite a fringe theory, not generally accepted as yet. IIRC horses are usually associated with Veles rather than Jarilo, but I may err, of course. --
1037:
Jove and Zeus are reltes to Indo-European *Dyēus, "god"/"main sky god". Jehova is unrelated here at all, since Hebrew language is
Semitic and not Indo-European. And Jarilo 's name come from Slavic *yar, which has the meaning of "spring","bright" or "fierce".
