Abstract
Croatian indented shape spreads the country throughout wide areas of
the Mediterranean, Dinaric and Pannonian regions. The
Mediterranean area is exceptionally interesting for its cultural
peculiarities and various deeply rooted traditions, as well as for the
sphere of its oral literature. Different levels of culture are present in
this area: from the remains of the pre-Christian tradition, the
popular traditional Christianity and the written literature that
penetrated this region. The oral literature belongs to a special place
for the early influence it had on the written literature as well as for its
written documents. Besides, the interweaving of the popular and
urban culture has remained a feature of the Croatian literature until
today.
