This article is concerned with the functioning of myths in the life of the Hutsuls, an ethnic group of the Eastern Carpathians, and especially the unity, renewal and remembrance of the Hutsul myths in the process of cultural anamnesis. The primary source of this study is a literary record of the Hutsul myths and beliefs set down in the mode of memoir by Stanislaw Vincenz (1888-1971). While examining the Hutsul mythology of remembrance and forgetting, special attention is paid to aquatic mnemic symbols, the local equivalents of Lethe, Eunoe and Mnemosyne in their transcultural, universal significance.

In the second half of the 14th c. the dominating position in the partitioned and subdued by the Luxembourgs Silesia was achieved by Louis I (d. 1398), Duke of Brzeg. His independent rule, however, started only after the small town of Lubin was redeemed from the hands of obligees. In the politically uncertain situation the year 1353 was certainly a turning point for the duke. Thanks to the support from Charles IV, Louis I gave his daughter Margaret in married to the Bavarian duke Albrecht I, lord of Straubing, who was also, together with his brothers, an heir of the counties of Hainaut, Holland and Zeeland, as well as the lands of the Frisians. On that occasion Louis I ordered a new courtly redaction of the Life of St. Hedwig, which was a public manifestation of his place in the Piast family, pretending to the role of one of the oldest dynasties in Christian Europe. Genealogical self-identification of duke Louis with his ancestors, St. Hedwig (d. 1243, canonized 1267) related to the Wittelsbachs, her husband Henry I the Bearded (d. 1238) and her son Henry II the Pious (d. 1241) was a kind of legitimization of the poor duke and was intended to be a pass to the highest aristocratic spheres of late medieval Europe.
