Abstract

The article for the first time describes the system of Slovak lower mythology (= demonology) in its variable integrity and structural completeness. The main publications of the 19th – 20th centuries are summarized, as well as the field materials of the XX and XXI centuries on Slovak demonology, collected both by Slovak ethnographers and folklorists and by the author of the article. A review of mythological characters follows the traditional classification based on their inhabitation (natural, domestic etc. demons) or etiology ("walking" deceased, demons of the states, shape-shifters, half-demons).

Keywords
Slavic ethnolinguistics, Slovak demonology, mythological characters.
