The Primary Chronicle relates that in the year AD prince Oleg Scandin. We find the same form of confirmation of a peace treaty by prince Igor in In , when prince Vladimir the Great came to the throne of Kiev , he erected statues of five pagan gods in front of his palace which he soon thereafter discarded after his Christianization in Perun was chief among these, represented with a silver head and a golden moustache.

After the Christianization of Kievan Rus , this place became a monastery, which, quite remarkably, continued to bear the name of Perun.

Perun is not mentioned directly in any of the records of Western Slavic traditional religion, but a reference to him is perhaps made in a short note in Helmold 's Chronica Slavorum , written in the latter half of the 12th century, which states quite similarly to Procopius some six centuries earlier that Slavic tribes, even though they worship many various gods, all agree there is a supreme god in heaven which rules over all other on earth.

This could be a reference to Perun, but since he is not named, nor any of his chief attributes thunder or lightning mentioned, we cannot be certain.

Moreover, the name of Perun is also commonly found in Southern Slavic toponymy. The Bulgarian and Macedonian people believe that the name of the Bulgarian mountain Pirin , one of the highest mountains of the Balkan Peninsula, was named after Perun.

Perun is also the name of the hill in Podstrana next to Split, Croatia. The word "Pero" means feather and the names of mountains and cities could refer to poultry.

These names today mostly represent mountain tops, but in medieval times, large oaks, sacred groves and even entire villages or citadels were named Perun.

Among South Slavs, a mountain plant Iris germanica is known in folklore as perunika "Perun's plant" and sometimes also as bogisha , "god's plant" , and was believed to grow from ground that had been struck by lightning.

The Bulgarian people believe that the name of city Pernik is thought to have originated from that of Slavic god Perun with the Slavic placename suffix —nik or —ik added, and was first mentioned in the 9th century.

The medieval town was a key Bulgarian stronghold during Bulgarian tsar Samuil's wars against the Byzantine Empire in the 11th century, when it was governed by the local noble Krakra of Pernik , withstanding Byzantine sieges a number of times.

Artifacts, traditions and toponyms show the presence of the cult of Perun among all Slavic , Baltic and Ugro-Finnic peoples.

Perun was also related to an archaic form of astronomy — the Pole star was called Perun's eye and countless Slavic and Hungarian astronomers continued this tradition — most known ones are Nicolaus Copernicus , and Franz Xaver von Zach.

In Slavic mythology, much like in Norse and Baltic mythologies, the world was represented by a sacred tree , usually an oak, whose branches and trunk represented the living world of heavens and mortals, whilst its roots represented the underworld, i.

Perun was the ruler of the living world, sky and earth, and was often symbolised by an eagle sitting on the top of the tallest branch of the sacred tree, from which he kept watch over the entire world.

Deep down in the roots of the tree was the place of his opponent, symbolised by a serpent or a dragon: this was Veles , watery god of the underworld, who continually provoked Perun by creeping up from the wet below up into the high and dry domain of Perun, stealing his cattle, children, or wife.

Perun pursued Veles around the earth, attacking him with his lightning bolts from the sky. Veles fled from him by transforming himself into various animals, or hiding behind trees, houses, or people; wherever a lightning bolt struck, it was believed that this was because Veles hid from Perun under or behind that particular place.

In the end, Perun managed to kill Veles, or to chase him back down into his watery underworld. The supreme god thus reestablished order in the world, which had been disrupted by his chaotic enemy.

He then returned to the top of the World tree and proudly informed his opponent down in the roots "Well, there is your place, remain there!

This line came from a Belarusian folk tale. To the Slavs, the mythological symbolism of a supreme heavenly god who battles with his underworldly enemy through storms and thunder was extremely significant.

While the exact pantheon characterization differed between the various Slavic tribes, Perun is generally believed to have been considered as the supreme god by the majority, or perhaps by nearly all Slavs, at least towards the end of Slavic paganism.

The earliest supreme god was probably Rod ; it is unclear precisely how and why his worship as the head of the pantheon evolved into the worship of Perun.

Another candidate for supreme deity among at least some Slavs is Svarog. Perun's lightning bolts were believed to be stones and stone arrows. According to folk beliefs, fulgurites , belemnites , and sometimes even the remains of prehistoric stone tools found in the ground are remains of these weapons.

Various Slavic countries also call these deposits "Perun's stones", "thunderbolt stones", "thunderbolt wedges" and "Perun's arrow"; other unrelated names for these include "devil's finger", "God's finger", and "Mother of God finger", and in Lithuania , "Perkun's finger" Belemnitida.

The weapons of Perun protected against bad luck , evil magic , disease , and — naturally enough — lightning itself. Perun also had another type of weapon in his arsenal, as destructive as his firestone arrows, but even more unusual: mythical golden apples.

While this may not seem to be much of a weapon, in many [ citation needed ] Slavic folk accounts, the golden apple appears as a talisman of ultimate destruction.
