Search for: [Abstract = "Against a comparative background of medieval myths of the origins of peoples in medieval Europe, the author performs an analysis of the dynastic myth of the Piasts. The analysis leads him to the conclusion that two mysterious strangers who in Piast’s hut performed a miraculous multiplication of beer and pork, and then a ritual cutting of hair of Piast’s son whom they named Siemowit \(meaning the ruler or master of the family\) and through this ceremony took him as their own son thus establishing a special link between themselves and the whole Piasts’ dynasty – were a Slavonic version of the divine twin brothers, the Dioscuri."]
