  • The Swallow and the Snake: Abaza Mythology in the World Context

    Open AccessE DuvakinARTICLEKunstkamera2025

    For a wide range of researchers, the mythology of the Abazins, one of the indigenous peoples of the Caucasus, remains largely terra incognita. This article contains the first results of its study in a global perspective and in a broad historical context. The systematic processing of the data from more than a thousand traditions of the Old and New Worlds has allowed us to trace the distribution of the etiological motif “Whose Blood is Sweeter?” th…

  • Volga-Ural and West Siberian Components in the Folklore of the Sámi and the Baltic Finns

We analyse the data for ten of these motifs, which consist of cosmological and aetiological concepts as well as trickster and adventure episodes. In Europe, these motifs are extremely rare, and in most cases occur only in the Finnic and Sámi traditions. In Siberia, the motifs ar…

  • Buried in a Head: African and Asian Parallels to Aesop’s Fable

    Y Berezkin, E DuvakinARTICLEFolklore2016Cited by: 2References: 6

    There is a strange story among the fables ascribed to Aesop. It was preserved by Aristophanes and tells about the lark, who was born before the creation of the earth and had to bury her dead father in her own head. This article investigates Indian, Arabic, and North and West African parallels to this story. The analysed texts share several specific details, and the motif ‘buried in a head’ lying at the base of them is found worldwide only in a fe…

    Open AccessY Berezkin, E DuvakinARTICLEFolklore Electronic Journal of…2016

    The Aarne-Thompson-Uther index contains rich data on the tale repertoire of the main areas of Eurasia and North Africa, but it is still Eurocentric, and does not reflect many widespread tale-types that are not registered in Europe or rarely found across the region.We have revealed several plots of such kind.Their distribution seems to point to the eastern part of the Great Steppe as the area of their origin.Later on waves of nomads might have bro…
