| Περίληψη: | The sacrifices of the Early Slavs to pagan deities, spirits, etc. are well
known from the written sources as well as the archaeological finds. The paper
tackles with the recorded to the written sources human sacrifices, as well as
certain finds in cremation urns, in the religious context of the Early Slavs.
Focus point is Procopius’ testimony on the ritual executtion of Topeiros’
inhabitants in c. 550, while, on the other hand, cases of double cremations in
one urn are compared with Maurice’s Strategikon testimony on the women’s
suicide after the death of their husband, which may actually concern sacrifices
of religious character. Avoiding to reproduce common places about the
rituals of the Slavs, as Pseudo-Caesarius and, later, other Byzantine authors,
Procopius’ account makes it clear that some of the sacrifices to the supreme
God, as well as to other deities, included also human beings. The background
of the human sacrifices, reflection of religious beliefs, should be sought to the
Slavic mythology and perceptions for both the uranic powers and those of the
underworld. The mass and ritual execution of war prisoners interprets in a
logical way the desire of the Slavs, based on a promise to reward the salvation
of their lives by offering the lives of prisoners, likely to the chthonic Gods.
Furthermore, information from other medieval sources and archaeological
finds testifies that the early Slavs performed human sacrifices using concrete rituals and instruments for the humans’ execution, according to the customs
of their ancestors. |
