Abstract
A myth, as a kind of universal collective illusion, persists for thousands of years and interferes
with the effort of people to live in a community and in syntony with their environment. The article studies
various psychological, sociological and political aspects of the role of mythical content in creating
and maintaining the concept of a nation. The myth of Serbian hero, Kraljević Marko, takes the central
place in this analysis, as it is used as a case study, contextualized in determined socio-historical events
and compared to other regional and European examples.
