Stereotypes concerning Greeks in Serbian language are researched through the historical source (Dictionary of JAZU). The source describes a complex representation, with a truthful foundation that incorporates layers of mythological and historical memories on stereotypes in the traditional culture. This ethnic stereotype of the people associated with Serbs in one very positive experience, both in mythological and historical legacies, is freed from prejudice, thus preventing a possibility of political misuse of its ethnic symbolism
