Simargl by Viktor Korolkov.

Simargl or Semargl (Russian: Симаргл or Семаргл) is a deity or a mythical creature in East Slavic mythology, depicted as a winged lion or dog. An idol of Semargl was present in the pantheon of Great Prince Vladimir I of Kiev. It may be the equivalent of Simurgh in Persian mythology, which is also represented as a griffin with a dog body.

There are two theories about why the Prince included Simargl in the pantheon:

1. Sarmatian-Alanian (Iranian) origin. a. Eastern Slavs borrowed Simargl from Sarmatian-Alanian people and worshiped him. b. Eastern Slavs never worshiped Simargl. Just at that time, a significant number of Kiev residents were of Khazar and Sarmatian-Alanian origin. Vladimir included their deity in the pantheon to get their support.

2. The name Simargl appeared as a result of a slip of the pen in The Primary Chronicle. Eastern Slavs never knew such a deity. Instead, in the pantheon was Semi-Yarila (Семи-Ярила) - the seven-headed idol of Yarila.
