Summary/Abstract: In the article, I review the most recent monographs on Slavic mythology published in the Slovak academic sphere. Since the research in the field of mythology is actively done mostly by linguists and literary scholars, I focus on the contributions from these disciplines. The most fundamental works are the papers and monographs by Martin Golema. In the study, I consider his influence on the contemporary Slavic Studies and young researchers. Special attention is paid to the monograph by Ľubomír Gábor, whose methodological approach is based on Golema’s works. Among the authors, who contributed to the recent research of Slavic mythology in Slovakia, Martin Pukanec is worth mentioning. Pukanec’s work is therefore further discussed in the article. Analyzing his work allows us to see the current state of Slavic mythology from the Slovak perspective and further discuss it.
