Книга Попова «Славенские древности, или Приключения славенских князей» содержит беллетризованный рассказ о приключениях князей дохристианской Руси, изложенный в жанре сказочно-рыцарского романа. В описании языческих обрядов использованы многочисленные недостоверные, но интересные легенды, фольклорные и этнографические источники. Хотя «Славянские древности» относятся к первым в русской литературе опытам псевдоисторической славянской сюжетики, многие читатели XVIII века воспринимали книгу как историческое сочинение.
