Živana Antonijević or Blind Živana (died in Zemun in 1828) was Serbian storyteller, gusle player (Serbian: guslar) and one of the most important sources for Serbian epic poetry recorded by Vuk Karadžić.
Živana was one of favorite women singers of Vuk Karadžić[1] who published seven songs recorded from her:
- How the Christened name is served (Serbian: Како се крсно име служи)
- He who celebrates the Christened name is helped by it (Serbian: Ко крсно име слави оном и помаже)
- Marko Kraljević and Alil-Aga (Serbian: Марко Краљевић и Алил-ага)
- Marko Kraljević and the twelve Moors (Serbian: Марко Краљевић и дванаест Арапа)
- Perilous Bogdan and voivode Dragija (Serbian: Љутица Богдан и војвода Драгија)
- Vučko Ljubičić
- Nahod Momir
Some other songs are also recorded from her, including:
- Marko and the vila (Serbian: Марко Краљевић и вила)
- The unfaithful wife of Grujica (Serbian: Невјера љубе Грујичине)
- The Wedding of Todor of Stalać (Serbian: Женидба Тодора од Сталаћа)
Jelisaveta Marković (Blind Jeca), who was also a blind storyteller (one of four whose songs were recorded by Karadžić) was Živana's apprentice.[2]
