Топик: Ilya Murometz
Топик: Ilya Murometz
Ilya Murometz is the most famous of the mighty warriors, known as
Bogatyrs, of the Russian "Bilyny" legends. This legendary hero was
unable to move during his first 33 years of his life. Then one day he was
visited in his house by the three Holy Old Men, who asked Ilya for some water.
Ilya became furious, as he thought the Old Men were playing a joke on him when
they commanded Ilya to get up, much to his own surprise, Ilya rose. From that
moment on he became a warrior of extraordinary powers and the defender of the
Holy Russia.
Among his most famous deeds are: the single handed destruction of
the Tatar army, sleight of the town of Chernigov and the capture of the Evil
Bandit the Nightingale Whistler, (also known as "Solovey Razboynik"
), who had the power of killing people with his whistle.
Ilya of Murom, a defender of the Lands of Russia, is portrayed a
friend of the simple folk, a symbol of liberty and fairness, and sometimes as a
raging rebel who dared to quarrel with the Duke of Kiev, and who almost destroyed
the City of Kiev. In the end he returned to his senses, and Ilya Murometz
became the Best Warrior and the Wisest Adviser to Duke Vladimir of Kiev.
