Abstract
The article deals with the information about the ancient pagan cult of Achilles and other ancient gods at the Serpent Island and, in general, in the northern Black Sea coast. Data is taken from the Romanian folklore, chronicled in the XIX century in the counties, located in the near the Serpent Island. They speak about the mysterious temple on the sacred island, which got the name in songs “Big Church of Nine Altars” (“Вiserica cea mare cu 9 altare”), or the “Monastery of the Gods” (“Mănăstirea Domnilor”). The authors on the songs reflect of the pagan gods predominantly in Christian categories and mixed old and new religious ideas.
