In a Serbian version of the Pleiades myth collected by Vuk Karadzic and published in 'Archiv für slavische Philologie' under the title 'Die Plejaden', two brothers named Dragoman and Milan attempt to rescue their sister from a dragon but are killed. Their mother later gives birth to a third son, Busan, who grows immensely strong, kills the dragon, rescues the sister, and resurrects his brothers. Milan and Dragoman marry princesses, and the first brother fathers seven golden-haired children who die in their sleep and are elevated to the sky as the Pleiades.
