| Summary: | This paper is devoted to finding the characteristics of the mother’s image in the stories of the Eshanoko Brothers Cycle. Female characters are among the most common in Adyg folklore and other peoples’ oral folk art. In this regard, a number of scientists have frequently turned their attention to them. Particular importance was given in the works to the images of heroines from Adyg folklore’s epic genres, particularly fairy tales and ancient heroic epics (Sataney-guasha, Adiyukh, Usarezh, etc.). Some female characters of historical-heroic songs and legends (Goshegag, Guashemakho, daughter-in-law of the Zhansokhovs, etc.) are also defined using the descriptive-analytical method. What has previously been explored opens the door to a more in-depth examination of the origins and artistic originality of these and other historical folklore characters. One of them is the image of the mother of the brothers Eshanoko, who plays a significant role in the cycle. This determines the relevance of this study. The main goal of the work is to give as complete a description as possible of not only the description of the heroine’s appearance, but to establish the origin, evolution and typology of this image using the method of comparative typological analysis. Based on existing plot catalogs, in particular the index by Antti Aarne and Stif Thompson, the types of plots associated with this character are noted. |
