Alesha Popovich
Alyosha Popovich is one of the heroes who are part of the heroic trinity together with Ilya Muromets and Dobrynya Nikitich. Alyosha is not so much strong as cunning, and knows how to play the harp. The legends about the birth are similar to the legend about the birth of Volkh-Veles, the thunder roared. At once. Like Volkh-Veles, he equipped a squad, was smart beyond his years, and like Volkh-Veles, he was married to Alenushka (a variant of the name Yelenea, Volkh’s wife). So this is most likely a Christianized image of Volkh-Veles.
Volkh Vseslavovich
Volga is the son of the serpent and the princess Martha Vseslavievna. The trembling of the earth and the terrible fear of all living creatures at the minute when Volga saw the light indicate him as the personification of some elemental force.
In the garden, in the garden in green
The young princess walked and walked
Martha Vseslavievna,
She jumped from a stone to a fierce snake —
A fierce serpent is entwined
Around Chebot green morocco,
Near a silk stocking,
He hits the white quilting with his trunk. (Part of the leg from the pelvis to the knee)
And at that time the princess suffered diarrhea,
And she suffered diarrhea and gave birth to a child.
And in the sky the moon was bright,
And a mighty hero was born in Kiev,
How young Volkh Vseslavievich would be:
The earth sprouted cheese,
The Indian kingdom was shaking gloriously,
And the blue sea swayed
For the sake of the birth of the heroic
Young Volkh Vseslavievich;
Volga-Volkh-Veles grows by leaps and bounds, and soon becomes a mighty hero, possessing not only the art of fighting enemies, but also reading from books and turning around in different animals.
The epic, as you can see, tells not about a person, but about a deity. He turned his soldiers into ants, that is, like Achilles, he commanded the Myrmidons.
Veles-Volkh goes to the kingdom of Indy, conquers, conquers it, and marries Elena Azvyakovna, Elena the Beautiful. As you can see, the similarity of the legends about Achilles and Veles is obvious.
Dobrynya Nikitich
Dobrynya Nikitich, most likely, has the basis of the image of Dobrynya, a relative of Vladimir Svyatoslavovich. The epics emphasize his greatness, reason, restraint, in contrast to Alyosha Popovich and Ilya Muromets.
Danube Ivanovic
Danube Ivanovich is more reminiscent of Ilya Muromets, but with the implication that he came to serve in Kiev from foreign lands, usually from Lithuania or Poland. He, like Dobrynya Nikitich, is engaged in matchmaking, the in-law of the king’s daughter Apraksa for Vladimir. Danube himself marries Apkasy’s sister. Nastya-polyanitsa (heroic). But by chance the hero kills Nastasya, and before her death, he pulls out of the woman’s womb a miracle child – “knee-deep in silver legs, elbows in gold, braids on the head with frequent stars” (Rybn. 9). Danube throws himself on the sword and dies.
Polish epic, Leszko Popelyush
Unfortunately, the Polish epic, as such, has not reached us. Remains of retellings of individual epic legends, included in the chronicles of Anonymous Gall, Boguhval, Kadlubk, etc. In the “Great Chronicle” of the Poles, there is a legend about two brothers, sons of the legendary hero and ruler of Krak, the founder of Krakow. They fought in a duel, the eldest won, who, like his father, was called Krak.
This legend is reminiscent of the epic “The Queen of Kryakov”. It also deals with the duel of brothers, sons of the ruler, in which the elder brother, the father’s namesake, prevails. The names of the brothers in the epic are Christian, that is, later. Moreover, Luke and Peter (Luke and Moses, Luke and Matvey) Petrovichi are the general epic names of the brothers mentioned in the pair. They can appear at the heroic outpost, on the field of the Kama massacre, in the epic about their sister Alena and Alyosha Popovich, even in the epic about Vaska Buslaev.
In the West Slavic and North Russian fairy tales, the legend about a hero nicknamed Popyalov, Popyalyshka, Popelyukh, Popelvar, Popelchek has been preserved. So, the Polish hero’s name is Leszko Popelyush, the Russian one is Alyoshka Popovich. There is a certain skldstvo, especially in the description of heroes.
In the “Great Chronicle”, it is written that a certain “weaver”, the heir of the Popelyusha family, defeated Alexander the Great not by force, but by “cunning and trick”. In honor of this feat, the hero received the nickname Leshko, that is, a deceiver, a rogue. In the epics of Russia, Alyosha Popovich also often defeated his enemies with cunning.
In the epic epic, a hero is well known who conquers enemies with “cunning and trick”. His name is Alyosha – in epics more often Alyosha —Popovich. It is also important that the Polish language is the only Slavic language, besides Russian, which has retained the word “hero” (bohater, bohatyr, bohaterz) in the meaning of “hero”, a warrior with special strength and skills. The Ukrainian “rich man” is rather a later borrowing from the Russian language, the Belarusian “bagatyr”, in fact, is only consonant with the Polish and Russian words, denoting a completely different concept – a rich man, that is, one who has wealth.
Serbian hero, Doychin
Sick Doychin, or Sick Doychin, or even, as in Romanian songs, Donchile is a hero of the Serbian and Macedonian tradition, the image of a “sick hero”. Despite the specific indication of “voivode from Thessaloniki (Thessaloniki)”, he has no prototype. The plot is “wandering” in different cultures – the filthy besermians and the Black Arap city of Solun have surrounded itself, and there is no one to protect the honest people, except for the sick hero, who has been lying practically on the stove for nine years… Well, he gets up, collects weapons, a horse, says goodbye to his relatives, will beat the Araps, returns to give his dear sister… the cut out eyes of the Black Arap (Balkans, sir!) and dies… For he is sick.
The Serbian plot most of all resembles the story of Ilya Muromets. Which until the age of 33 lay on the stove, and only pedestrian kaliks revealed the hero, and then Ilya stood up for the Russian land and defended the city of Chernigov. Here the parallels with Doychin Serbsky are evident, however, the Serbian hero was ill for only nine years. Donchile Romanian is consonant with the Russian Danube Ivanovich, but even here the image of Danube Ivanovich is consonant in the deeds and accomplishment of Ilya Muromets. And I recall in this context the legend written by Alexei Maksimovich Gorky about Danko, who illuminated the way for СКАЧАТЬ
