Heroic epic

Heroic epic

This paragraph talks about the different forms of the heroic epic.

Historically, the first type of narrative genres was the heroic epic, which in itself is heterogeneous, because it includes works similar in problem orientation, but different in age and type of characters. The earliest form of the heroic epic can be considered a mythological epic, the main character of which is the so-called ancestor, a cultural hero who performs the functions of the organizer of the world: he produces fire, invents crafts, protects the family from demonic forces, fights monsters, establishes rituals and customs. The closest thing to this type of heroes is the character of Greek mythology Prometheus.

Another version of the heroic epos is distinguished by the fact that the hero combines the features of a cultural ancestor hero and a brave warrior, knight, hero, fighting for the territory and independence of a tribe, people or state. Such heroes include, for example, the characters of the Karelian-Finnish epic, known as "Kalevala", or the Kyrgyz epic, called "Manas".

The most mature forms of the heroic epic include the Greek Iliad, the Spanish Song of Side, the French Song of Roland, Serbian youthful songs, and Russian epics. They depict heroes in the struggle for the interests of the whole people, mostly in battles with foreign invaders. Of course, such heroes are extremely idealized and represent not real historical figures, but a utopian world that has gone into the past, in which the moods of the singer and his listeners seemed to merge, and the whole narrative received an emotionally sublime coloring.

The works of the heroic epic in its various variations are found in almost all peoples at the early stages of the development of verbal creativity, but chronologically at different times. So, Homer's Iliad dates back to the 8th century BC, Russian epics date back to the 11th-15th centuries of the Christian era. At the same time, such works have different names for different peoples: epics, thoughts, epics, songs about deeds, sagas, runes, olonkho, etc.

It follows from the foregoing that the typological quality of the neck, which gives grounds to classify works as a genre of heroic epos, consists, firstly, in emphasizing the strength, courage, courage of the hero, and secondly, in emphasizing the purpose and meaning of his actions, their focus on the common good, whether it be the dispensation of the world or the fight against enemies. Such aspirations are the German philosopher of the early 19th century G.W.F. Hegel called substantial, that is, universally significant, and the period when heroes of this type began to appear and works glorifying them, "the heroic state of the world." Objective prerequisites for the emergence of genres of the heroic type could have developed later, especially in connection with the understanding of national liberation wars, in particular the fight against fascism in the 40s of the XX century. The reflection of these processes is easy to find in the works of various writers dedicated to the Second World War.

Epics. The term epic was first introduced in 1839 by Ivan Sakharov in the collection Songs of the Russian People. The popular name for these works is “old, old, old”. “I lay down on a sack near a skinny fire ... and, warming myself by the fire, fell asleep imperceptibly; strange sounds woke me up: before that I had heard a lot of songs and poems ... but I had never heard such a tune. Lively, whimsical and cheerful, sometimes it became faster, sometimes it broke off and in its own way resembled something ancient, forgotten by our generation. For a long time I did not want to wake up and listen to the individual words of the song: it was so joyful to be in the grip of a completely new impression ... ”recalls the folklore collector P. N. Rybnikov.

Epics: fiction or history with elements of fantasy? Most of the epics known to us were created in the 9th - 12th centuries. However, one can notice in the texts of epics echoes of events and life of much later eras (16th and even 19th centuries). Why did this happen? “Far from all the events and heroes sung in epics remained in the memory of descendants. Previously emerged works were reworked in relation to new events and new people, sometimes feats performed later were attributed to former heroes. So over the centuries, a special world of epics was formed, which united people from different centuries and eras. So, all Kyiv heroes became contemporaries of one Prince Vladimir, although they had to fight enemies who plagued Russia from the 10th to the 16th centuries.

Ilya Muromets. The main character of Russian epics, only the plot of his battle with the Nightingale the Robber has more than a hundred options. Until the age of 30, Ilya sat in a seat, unable to use his arms and legs, then he received miraculous healing and heroic strength from kalik passers-by (wandering pilgrims). His personality symbolizes the transition from "senior" to "younger" heroes: he was familiar with Svyatogor, and he, according to some versions, gave him part of his great power before his death (according to others, Ilya refused it). In the epics, Ilya Muromets appears before us as an "old Cossack", possessing remarkable strength, mighty and wise.

Nikitich. The most popular hero of the Russian epic after Ilya Muromets. The most "intelligent" of the epic heroes; it embodies those qualities that the people collectively denoted by the word "knowledge": education, excellent education, knowledge of etiquette, the ability to play the harp, intelligence (Dobrynya plays chess superbly). All this makes him especially suitable for diplomatic assignments: in epics he often represents the interests of Prince Vladimir in foreign lands. In addition to these qualities, he, like all heroes, is brave and courageous. Already from childhood (from the age of 12 or 15), Dobrynya has excellent command of weapons.

Alyosha Popovich. The youngest of the famous trinity of epic heroes, the son of the Rostov priest Levontiy (rarely - Fedor). He is known for his valiant prowess, resourcefulness and heroic courage, as well as his temper and boastfulness. Alyosha is cheerful, mocking and sharp-tongued. He often defeats enemies not by force, but by military cunning: pretending to be deaf and forcing the enemy to come closer, under some pretext forcing the enemy to turn around, etc.

Volga Svyatoslavovich (Volkh Vseslavevich). The name of the hero, Magus, indicates that a great magician, a sorcerer, was born. By birth, he is connected with nature, as the whole life of primitive man was connected with nature and the struggle with it. The ancestors of the Russians, before becoming farmers, depended on hunting, which was once the main form of obtaining a livelihood. When Volkh is born, animals, fish and birds hide in fear: a great hunter is born. Volkh can turn into animals: he catches fish in the form of a pike, birds - turning into a falcon, forest animals - a gray wolf. He is a sorcerer and a werewolf. Volkh can turn into animals: he catches fish in the form of a pike, birds - turning into a falcon, forest animals - a gray wolf. He is a sorcerer and a werewolf. He fights in the same way as he hunts: by magical skill, "cunning-wisdom."

Mikula Selyaninovich. A plowman with remarkable strength. Volga Vseslavievich met him when, accompanied by a squad, he went for tribute to the cities of Gurchevets, Krestyanovets and Orekhovets. Orest Miller saw in Mikul an ancient deity of agriculture; thus, his meeting with Volga is a meeting of the god-hunter with the god-plowman. Enormous strength, the ability to easily lift the earth's thrust (which turned out to be beyond the power of the mighty Svyatogor), bring him closer to the so-called "senior" heroes - the most ancient characters of the Russian epic.
