Abstract

The present article is about the author's ret1ections on the importance of valuing the study of the folklore of a nation. Two main reasons can be considered starting from this scientific study: to understancl the history of the culture of the Lithuanian people and to reconstitute its old religion. Starting from the religion can be studied not only its abstract manifestations (theology) as well as its figurative form being expressed by the mythology and for the ritual (liturgy). These studies drive to a deeper understanding of the origins of the religion of the Lithuanian people. The objective of the myths according to Greimas isto base ideologically the creation of the political institution (city, nation, dynasty), and this can be proven not only in Lithuania, not only in old Rome, but also in India and in Ireland.
