This undergraduate thesis explores folk tales and legends. The first stories to be analyzed are the historical narratives, focusing in particular on those concerning the arrival of the Croats to their current territories and the period of Ottoman occupation in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. During this historical period, the uskoks and hajduks emerged, with Andrijica Šimić and Petar Kružić being the most prominent figures. The etiological tales which were explored in this paper speak of the origins of places and surnames, specifically the Gotovac surname and the island of Visovac and the village Neorić. The central characters in the myths are fairies and people with supernatural abilities. These myths explain the origin of fairies and provides basic information about them. They are followed by the examination of tales about the Slavic goddess Lada and her son Ljela. Demonological folk tales delve into encounters with vampires, werewolves, and witches. Eschatological stories center around deceased children or the wandering souls of the murdered. An example of an anecdote is also provided, a short humorous story about a homeless person. Finally, the paper discusses legends, their definition, and offers several examples, and a retelling of the famous story of Gavan and his Halls, which is based on the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah. The paper also touches on the stories of St. Catherine, St. Domnius, and the painting of Our Lady of Sinj, which is associated with many miracles and is still celebrated and revered.
