Lada - Slavic goddess name. Mythology of the end of XVIII and the first decades of the nineteenth century (Popov , stockings , Kaisarov ) doubted its existence, accepting without verification the testimony of her innocent Gizel , who, in his "Synopsis" to say: "the fourth idol Lado; this keahou God of fun and all the best, sacrifices his prinoshu preparing for marriage, by a Lada mname yourself dobrovidenie and kindly life, Stati". The author of the "Synopsis" pokerpal your information about the pagan gods of the Polish historians of Cromer and Stryjkowski; Cromer, in turn, repeated the speculation Mahovici that Lada was consistent with the Gentiles-poles Greek Leda. In this Mahavite at odds with Glugose, who claimed that the ancient poles Lado corresponded to the Roman Mars. Currently, it is possible to consider proven that Dlugosz and later Polish historians were taken out of the pagan God or goddess Lada Lada refrains from "Lado" found in folk songs. Examples of the creation of the mythical personality of misunderstood refrains are found in mythology: Greek singer LINOS owes its existence to pripevki "Ah Lena" (ai lenu) Phoenician songs. Nasledova goddess Lada from historians of the XVI - XVIII centuries, our researchers mythology (Afanasiev and others) tried to prove its existence among the Slavs of links to different sources which, for the study of Potebnya A. A. ("Explanations of little Russian and akin folk songs"), is highly questionable. Reliably only that the chorus of "Lado" found in the songs of the spring, summer and wedding. Forms of diversity chorus: "Ah bit, Oh Lado, "Didi-Ladi, di-dedushki", "Oh Didi Lada", "Lada Didi", "Oh bits Lado, Lado, Lado, Lado mine" and others. In Saratov province say "let's dedicate", that is to play dance songs, from the chorus of "Didi", Serbo-Croatian chorus "Lado" gave a derivative of the verb "ladate", that is to sing a song with this chorus on the eve of St. George's day. The word "Lada" - an old Russian; in "the Word about Igor's regiment" it was found in 4 cases, in applying to her husband; in the current great songs part of it is used in the feminine gender ("I'm looking for a harmony sweet"), of the average ("my Lado jealously"). Potebnya suggests that "harmony" actually means "match pair" (cf. Laden - even, even). Precisely to understand the meaning of the chorus "Lado" and so still fails; vague and grammatical form, but in any case, there is sufficient reason to deduce from this the chorus the name of the goddess and compare it with the mythological personalities of other people
