ON THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF THE PLOT OF THE “KOROGLU”

Abstract

The article examines the topic "On the historical roots of the plot of the epic "Koroglu". It is noted that the study of the historical semantics of the plot of the epic "Koroglu" means the study of the relationship between the epic and reality, epic and history. This relationship is complex and has serious epic specifics. Thus, the fact that the epic acts as a "memory" of ethnic thought inevitably gives it the role of "history", "reality", "past". The article concludes that the epic, no matter how close to reality with its world, in all cases is a product of epic-artistic thought.
