epos many believe fiction, comparing it with fairy tales.However, the epic, that is a true story, is significantly different from the popular imagination.Of course, the events described in the stories are much exaggerated.But scientists are finding evidence that they occurred in real life.For example, in the Kiev Caves Monastery lie incorrupt relics of cancer Ilya Muromets, who lived during the reign of Prince Vladimir the Red Sun.At the same time he lived and Svyatogor - the hero, who has repeatedly met with the winner of the Nightingale the Robber.
Ilya Muromets, Dobrynya Nikitich and Alyosha Popovich - is the most famous trio of ancient epic heroes, the prototypes of which, incidentally, were real people.But legends tell about another person, no less revered.This is - the hero Svyatogor, whose biography is known mainly from the epics.What was he like - is not known.After all, at a time when he lived Svjatogor-hero, there was not a camera or television.According to the legend, he was a true giant: in the pocket to him could easily put another knight, and even with a horse!He also carried with him the casket with his wife, a beautiful woman.Epics tells how the hero of our story met with Muromtsem they became sister cities as Svjatogor married (moral is: do not leave the fate of) and how to punish adulterers.
According to the epic, the hero lived on high Holy Mountain (hence his nickname), and in towns and villages are not dropped in Russia.Why is that?Russian hero Svyatogor was above the forest, the head reaches the clouds when he was going on their way, the world shook, the rivers flowed from the banks, the forest swayed.With difficulty he kept Cheese Mother Earth.That is probably why he rarely left his home and went to the people.Its strength was very high, but still arrived every day.But it was his curse, his anguish: there was no other such a knight who could match power with the hero.So he did not know where to put it, and in the end it killed him.We can say that Svyatogor - a supernatural creature, therefore doomed to failure.Proof - found him a coffin in an open field, who took the body of the hero and stopped his ordeal.
According to one version, Svyatogor-hero - a descendant of the Lemurians, the giants that once inhabited our planet.Perhaps the last of its kind, and therefore stayed away from the human race, while treating it very friendly, though, and did not understand it.However, such a judgment is only a hypothesis - without acknowledgment and rebuttals.
But some researchers believe taking the last refuge of the hero.By the time the war between the inhabitants of Russia and pechenegy applies Boyarsky mound promenade near Chernigov.Buried in its people (Svyatogor-hero?), Although it did not belong to princely family, yet was very noble and important, as evidenced in the burial objects.Weapons and items of the deceased have impressive size.Perhaps here lies the historical prototype of the glorious epic knight?It should be noted that the location of the burial mound also suggests the idea of the veracity of epics.Promenade is on Boldin Hills, not far from Holy Grove.Do not these cliffs were home to Svyatogora?
Whatever it was, we can assume that a man of great growth and great strength, so vividly described in the Slavic epic, really went the Russian land, and to do good.
