Abstract:

According to mythological data ancient population of Caucasus was represented by Giants. Among them are one-eyed Goliaths also. Theymainly appear as shepherds. Goliaths obtained all means for existence and the next generations used them. Later they lost their old dignityand transformed into evil creatures. There are women Goliaths-warriors in the Caucasian folklore and their activity is connected to the heroicweddingmotive.A special group of giants in the Caucasian mythology is made of Devs, which appeared here as a result of cultural-historical contacts with theOriental world.

Abstract:

This article focuses on the etymology of Indo-Iranian gandharvá- and possible related words outside Indo-Iranian languages. Even though the old comparison of Skt. gandharvá- and Gr. κένταυρος is phonologically untenable and cannot bring us to any reconstructable Proto-Indo-European form, their phonetic similarity should not be neglected or considered accidental and is furthermore corroborated by evidence from comparative mythology. It seems very likely that both words were borrowed from some Near Eastern non-Indo-European language, possibly Kassite or a related language, being perhaps eventual

Abstract:

The paper makes an attempt to analyse the Indo-European cultural categories in the dimension of anthropological and cultural sources which have constituted the national epic of Ossetians, the descendants of the legendary Sarmatian Alans. As a result of studying the present state of knowledge about nomadism, the authors propose a way of understanding that concept as an intercultural penetration of ideas and values through the cultural texts (myths, literary works) in the history of the Indo-European family of Eurasian nations. The authors present the nomadism of Indo-European cultural elements

Abstract:

In 1935, the Russian linguist Prince Nicolai S. Trubetskoi and the French mythologist Georges Dumézil engaged in a vicious debate over a seemingly obscure subject: the structure of Northwest Caucasian languages. Based on unknown archival material in French, German, and Russian, this essay uses the debate as a pathway into the 1930s scientific and political stakes of IndoEuropeanism – the belief that European cultures emerged through the spread of a single IndoEuropean people out of a single “motherland.” Each of the two authors held strong commitments to visions of European order and its origi

Abstract:

Jean-Sylvain Bailly, an eighteenth-century French astronomer and polymath, elaborated an original interpretation of the prehistoric origins of civilization which anticipated many of the details of the “Aryan myth.” Bailly argued that Atlantis was the root civilization of mankind, which had invented the arts and sciences and civilized the Chinese, Indians, and Egyptians. He situated this primordial people in the far north of Eurasia, and argued that as the cooling of the Earth buried their ancestral home beneath sheets of ice, the Atlanteans were lost to history. Bailly drew eclectically upon s

Mythology is a necessary stage of cultural development in the history of any nation. When a person creates myths, he is in search of the meaning of life and tries to: 1) to fit your life into the framework of a larger whole; 2) to discover a certain structure underlying being; 3) to understand, despite everything, that life has meaning and value. The mythologeme "split stone" in the ethnoculture of the peoples of the North Caucasus, reflected in the novels of the Ingush writer I.

Abstract:

Наиболее фундаментальным и типичным видом мифотворчества осетин являются космогонические мифы. Космогонические мифы повествуют о происхождении космоса в целом и его частей, связанных в единой системе. Основным начальным сюжетом творения мира в осетинской космогонии является происхождение космоса из хаоса. Часть космогонии составляют антропогонические мифы, в том числе о сотворении человека, первой человеческой пары или первых людей. Осетинская мифология, восходящая к индоиранскому наследию, испытала влияние христианства, ислама и кавказской культурной общности. Актуальность исследования мотива

Abstract:

The story of Herculesʼ achievements, like many others in Greek mythology, has undergone various changes since Hesiodʼs early transmissions helped to consolidate the essential elements of the myth and its characteristics. With the translocation of myths from Caucasian Iberia to Western Iberia, certain places, characters and events associated with the land were also transferred. The Fortunate Islands, the Garden of Hesperides, the place of the 10th and 11th labours of Hercules have been relocated, and the origin and meaning of the pillars set up by the hero have been identified and interpreted.

Abstract:

This article examines the peculiarities of the functioning of symbolic images of stone and mountains in the folklore and literatures of the peoples of the North Caucasus and Abkhazia. The objects of analysis are myths, a heroic epic about the sledges shared by a number of Caucasian peoples, poetry by K. Mechiev, K. Kuliev, A. Keshokov, and R. Gamzatov, novels by B. Shinkuba (Dissected Stone) and A. Gogua (Nimbus). As shown in the article, the images of stone and mountains in each literature function differently within the structure of a literary text, depending on the author’s intention. At th
