It is based on the motif of human sacrifice.[2][3]Table of ContentsTime and place[edit]Publishing and initial reactions[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Time and place[edit]The events described in the poem allegedly occurred at the beginning of the 14th century.[4]Jovan Tomi\u0107 concluded that this song was created in the region near Skadar (now Shkod\u00ebr), such as upper Albania, Montenegro, or the southwest part of Herzegovina where the tradition of the Mrnjav\u010devi\u0107 family was strong.[5] His conclusion was later supported by other scholars.[6] The army led by King Vuka\u0161in Mrnjav\u010devi\u0107 and his son Prince Marko came under Skadar in June 1371, but when they were informed about a large Ottoman army advancing from the east they headed east to prepare for the Battle of Maritsa.[7]The same motif is described in poetry composed in some other languages. The version in Serbian is considered as the major South-Slavic version. It is the only version which exists in the form of an epic poem, while versions in Hungarian, Romanian and Bulgarian are ballads.[8] The version of the song in the Serbian language recorded by Vuk Karad\u017ei\u0107 is the oldest collected version of the legend, and the first one which earned literary fame.[8]Publishing and initial reactions[edit]This song was published for the first time in 1815 in a version recorded by Vuk Karad\u017ei\u0107 from the singing of a Herzegovinian storyteller named Old Rashko.[9]In 1824, Vuk Karad\u017ei\u0107 sent a copy of his folksong collection to Jacob Grimm, who was particularly enthralled by The Building of Skadar. Grimm translated it into German, and described it as “one of the most touching poems of all nations and all times”.[9][10]Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published the German translation, but did not share Grimm’s opinion because he found the poem’s spirit “superstitiously barbaric”.[11]  The song describes the building of a fortress on the Bojana river at Skadar by the Mrnjav\u010devi\u0107 brothers (Vuka\u0161in, Uglje\u0161a and Gojko Mrnjav\u010devi\u0107). Gojko had to wall up his young wife alive within the walls of the fortress as a sacrifice demanded by the mountain vila (a  fairy similar to a nymph, in Slavic mythology). According to Vuk Karad\u017ei\u0107, there was a belief at this time that it was impossible to build a large building without a human sacrifice. Vuk claims that people even avoided the building sites because they were afraid their shadow could be walled-up and they could die without it.[12]See also[edit]References[edit]^ H.
