Gimbutas, M.

...In the study of ancient records of Baltic mythology, the posthumous work Latvian-Prussian Mythology (1936) by Wilhelm Mannhard (1831-80), author of Latvian Sun Mythology (1875), remains a fundamental text that remains valuable even today. In addition, Moscow linguist Vyacheslav Vsevolodvich Ivanov (1929- ), Vladimir Nikolaevich Toporov (1928- ), and Lithuanian-born archaeologist Marija Gimbutas (1921- ), who lives in the United States, have also made significant contributions to Baltic mythology, incorporating the work of Biezais.
[Influence on future generations]
Although there are no epics in the Baltic countries in the true sense of the word, the Latvian poet Pumpuls left a great masterpiece to posterity in his epic poem "Ráčprēsis" (1888), which features Baltic gods and witches and also incorporates a sun song from the midsummer festival.
