Kisah dan tradisi

Psoglav, harfiah "kepala anjing", adalah makhluk mitis bersifat iblis dalam mitologi Balkan; kepercayaan kepadanya ada di sebagian Bosnia dan Montenegro. Ia digambarkan bertubuh manusia dengan kaki kuda, berkepala anjing bergigi besi, dan bermata satu di dahi, seperti kiklop Yunani. Psoglav dikatakan tinggal di gua atau di negeri gelap yang kaya batu permata tetapi tanpa matahari. Mereka memakan manusia, bahkan menggali kuburan untuk memakan mayat. Dalam bahasa Kroasia disebut psoglavac dan Slovenia psoglavec, dan banyak legenda tentangnya terutama di Semenanjung Istria. Vuk Karadžić dalam kamus Serbia tahun 1818 mencatat kata psoglav dengan arti "manusia berkepala anjing".

The psoglav, literally "dog-head", is a demonic mythical being of Balkan myth; people in parts of Bosnia and Montenegro believed in it. Its body is human but its legs are a horse's; its head is a dog's, armed with iron teeth, and like the Greek cyclops it has one eye set in its brow. Psoglavs are said to live in caves or a dark land rich in gemstones but without sun. They eat people and even dig up graves to devour corpses. Croatian calls them psoglavac and Slovene psoglavec, and many legends about them come from the Istrian peninsula. Vuk Karadžić's 1818 Serbian dictionary records psoglav as "a man with a dog's head".
