| Summary: | In the genre structure of Mansi folklore, such a genre as heroic songs stands out. The texts talk about the past of the Mansi people, about its history, where the main character is the hero (in the Mansi language "otyr"). The purpose of this work: to analyze the texts of the Mansi heroic songs in order to identify the plot and motive of the songs. In this work, we have considered 15 Mansi songs of heroic content and identified a plot theme. An analysis of the texts showed that the heroes of the songs can defend their home and the surrounding territory, they can raid other people's settlements for various specific purposes, this can be revenge for the murder of a loved one (usually a father or brother) or the kidnapping of a woman. The hero can also go to someone else's settlement for the purpose of matchmaking, sometimes heroic, when he receives a refusal from his relatives and is forced to use force and kidnap his future wife. Heroic texts of different peoples are in the circle of attention of domestic and foreign researchers, but they did not become the subject of special study in Mansi folklore. |
