Epics

Epics - Russian folk tales epic songs about the exploits of heroes. The basis of the plot of the epic is some heroic event, or a remarkable episode of Russian history (hence popular name epics - “old man”, “old woman”, implying that the action in question took place in the past). Epics are usually written in tonic verse with two to four stresses. The term “epics” was first introduced by Ivan Sakharov in the collection “Songs of the Russian People” in 1839; he proposed it based on the expression “according to epics” in “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign,” which meant “according to the facts.”

Historicism At the center of many Russian epics is the figure of the Kyiv prince Vladimir, who can be identified with Vladimir II Monomakh (prince 1113-1125). Ilya Muromets is mentioned in the 13th century in the Norwegian "Saga of Thidrek" and the German poem "Ortnit", and in 1594 the German traveler Erich Lassota saw his tomb in the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. Alyosha Popovich served with the Rostov princes, then moved to Kyiv and died in the battle on the Kalka River. The Novgorod Chronicle tells how Stavr Godinovich incurred the wrath of Vladimir Monomakh and was drowned for robbing two citizens of Novgorod; another version of the same chronicle says that he was exiled. Danube Ivanovich is often mentioned in the chronicles of the 13th century as one of the servants of Prince Vladimir Vasilkovich, and Sukhman Dolmantyevich (Odikhmantyevich) was identified with the Pskov prince Domant (Dovmont).

For a long time, epics were not written down until famous scientists Pavel Nikolaevich Rybnikov (1832-1885) and Alexander Fedorovich Hilferding (1831-1872) became interested in them. More than 200 epic texts were included in the four-volume “Songs collected by P. N. Rybnikov.” A.F. Hilferding published 318 epics. Hilferding, Alexander Fedorovich

The images of Russian heroes and knights are widely reflected in the works of famous artists, for example, Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel - the decorative panel “Bogatyr”, or Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov - “Bogatyrs” (a painting that he painted for almost twenty years). Mikhail Vrubel. Bogatyr. 1898.

Victor Vasnetsov. Bogatyrs on horseback. 1896.

Epics are divided into works of the pre-Christian and Christian periods. The pre-Christian cycle includes tales about Svyatogor, Mikita Selyaninovich, Volga, which belong to the so-called “ wandering stories", rooted in the commonality of religious and cult elements of pre-Christian Europe. The Baptism of Rus' and the era of the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir became the core of an extensive Christian epic cycle, which is based on reliable historical events and personalities. Andrey Ryabushkin. A feast of heroes at the affectionate Prince Vladimir. 1888.

The group of heroes associated with Prince Vladimir and the city of Kiev is divided into senior and junior. Victor Vasnetsov. Knight at a crossroads. 1878.

Only Svyatogor, Volga Svyatoslavich and Mikula Selyaninovich are considered senior heroes; adds Samson, Sukhan and then Polkan, Kolyvan Ivanovich, Ivan Kolyvanovich, Samson Ivanovich, Samson Samoilovich and Molofer or Malafey; Don Ivanovich and Danube Ivanovich are also added. Bogatyrs personify various natural phenomena: older heroes - formidable phenomena, hostile to people, occurring during winter; so, for example, in the image of Svyatogor the gigantic clouds that cover the entire sky are personified; younger heroes are also natural phenomena, but beneficial for humans, occurring in the summer; the walking Kaliki are wandering clouds shedding rain; Initially, both of them were represented as deities, but some were their elder generation, titans, destroyers, and others were protectors of people.

"Samson" - the central fountain of the Peterhof palace and park ensemble

Younger heroes Younger heroes are divided into native and visiting; the latter include: Solovey Budimirovich, Churilo Plenkovich, Duke Stepanovich and others. Some scientists divide the heroes into types belonging to the pre-Tatar, Tatar and post-Tatar era, or Moscow: to the first group they include Dobrynya Nikitich, Ivan Danilovich and Alyosha Popovich; to the second: the heroes at the outpost, Idolishche, Ilya Muromets, Vasily Ignatievich and the heroes who “transferred”; to the third: Mikulu Selyaninovich, Khoten Bludovich, Churil Plenkovich, Dyuk Stepanovich, Danil Lovchenin, forty caliks with a calico, Solovy Budimirovich. In addition, the heroes are divided into only Vladimir himself, Dobrynya, as well as Volga Svyatoslavich, Stavr Godinovich, Ivan Danilovich, Churil Plenkovich and partly Ivan Godinovich.

Slide 21

Mikula Selyaninovich

This hero is not a warrior, but a plowman. In the old way - oratay. Mother Earth loves him and helps him, so the peasant Mikula can put both Svyatogor and Volga to shame.

Composition

Stylistic framing, not related to the plot, creates a general mood: How high is the height of heaven, How deep is the depth of the Akyan-sea, How wide is the expanse throughout the whole earth, How deep are the waters of Neprovsky... the chorus of M. Shrilev “Skomorokhs”

Slide 35

The first obligatory part of the plot (tells about the birth of the hero, his acquisition of strength; it talks about the place of action, about where the hero leaves from): In the glorious great Novograd A, Buslay lived until he was ninety years old... the beginning of M. Shrilev’s “Morning of Novgorod” Great"

Slide 36

traditional formulas, almost without changes, passing from one epic to another: And then the Nightingale whistles like a nightingale, He screams, the villain-robber, like an animal... And Alyoshenka roared like an animal, Alyosha hissed like -snake... commonplaces

"Epics"
Drawings by P. Sokolov-Skal
State Publishing House fiction, 1955

In honor of the holiday - Children's Book Day - I would like to present a book of Russian epics with illustrations by Sokolov-Skal. I looked through several books to choose something. We came across "Epics" with illustrations by Pavel Petrovich Sokolov-Skal. Yeah! Corypheus socialist realism, master battle painting, author of “The Storm of the Winter”, “The Death of the Division Chief (Shchors)”, “Chapaev”, “Stalin on the Tsaritsyn Front” and so on and so forth. Twice Laureate Stalin Prize. He was also featured in a children's book. “Epics” and “The Little Humpbacked Horse” were published with his illustrations.

There are no such mastodons in the community. But the graphics deserve to be published. Contemporary artists And recognized classics There are a lot of children's illustrations, but similar works are rare. These illustrations remind me most of Korovin in " Malachite box", it may be interesting to compare them with the works of Reiner. Next are all the graphic sheets, there are 23 of them in the book.

So, twice the Stalin Prize winner, who me in childhood... but more on that at the end, look first.

"Volga says these words:
"God's help, oratayushko!"
Yell, plow, and become peasants"

"He took the bipod with one hand,
He pulled the bipod off the land,
He shook out the land from the Omeshians,
Threw the bipod behind the willow bush.."

"And then Volkh, he was shrewd,
With all the good squad
To the glorious kingdom of the Indians
I immediately went on a hike with them."

"I'm pouring a glass of honey,
They bring it to Ilya Muromets..."

"And they went to the Northern Mountains,
And we drove down the road to the great tomb,
The signature on that coffin reads:
"Who is destined to lie in a coffin,
He'll fall into it."

"Oh, you old Cossack,
Old Cossack Ilya Muromets!
Don’t let Nightingale go to your will again!”

"I killed three Tatars in the field,
Three dogs, riders,
And he rescued his own sister from them,
Young Marfa Petrovich"

"And he pierced the ears at the head of Tugarin Zmeevich,
And he tied the horse to goodness,
And he brought it to Kyiv to the princely court,
Left him in the middle of the prince's courtyard."

"She went into the cherry tree, into the nut tree,
In your own good, in your green garden"

"Duke came to the cathedral church,
The cross is laid out as written,
Bowing leads in a learned manner."

“Ileika’s heroic heart became angry,
Mighty shoulders diverged"

"From the glorious city from Kyiv,
For three miles per measured
There was a great outpost:
First, there stood the old Cossack Ilya Muromets,
Secondly, Dobrynyushka Nikitinich,
Thirdly, Mikhailo Potyk is the son of Ivanovich.
Yes, there were seven Gryadovich brothers..."

"And Mikhaily jumped on his good horse,
And he went under the wicked army,
And he began to chop from one edge"

"Who would go to Kyiv-grad,
He carried a letter to Prince Vladimir,
To give the capital Kyiv city
Without a fight, without a great fight,
Without much bloodshed?

"And Prince Vladimir enters the deep cellars,
And the old Cossack Ilya Muromets sits,
Sits at an oak table
And reads the book of the Gospel."

"He cut off her violent head at the shoulders,
Severed and chopped up a woman's body
And scattered the pieces across the open field
To be devoured by gray wolves"

“I don’t want to play goosebumps anymore.
Shall I take my harp with me into the blue sea?"

"How Sadko began to play guselki yarovchaty,
How the king of the sea began to dance in the blue sea."

So, twice winner of the Stalin Prize, which baffled me as a child. As I already wrote, I publish my own books. Why do they have such crazy facial expressions and crazy eyes? Then, later, as a teenager, I read “The Viking Campaign” (and “Bylina” is still a junior school age- Ilya Muromets, Alyosha Popovich, heroes. True, you’ll break your tongue with these epics, but they’re kind of fairy tales) and I learned the word “berserker.” The Berserker is a Viking who dedicated himself to the god Odin and became enraged before battle. Was different in battle great strength, quick reaction, insensitivity to pain, insanity. That’s when I decided that half of the illustrations were berserkers, and not only the Vikings had them. This is the perception of Soviet book graphics.
