NART EPICS OF KARACHAIS AND BALKARS: DEBET, ALAUGAN, KARASHAWAI

Abstract

The Karachay-Balkarian "Nartiada" is one of the main national versions of the all-Caucasian Nart epic. Legends about the Narts, which belong to the archaic type of epic, are known to many Caucasian peoples. Among the Balkars and Karachays, as also among other peoples who are bearers of the Nartiada, the legends consist of a series of large and small cycles. Each cycle is a group of small legends and songs about the appearance on the earth of the Nart tribe, about the various stages and events of the epic life of the heroes (birth, heroic childhood, the first exploit, marriage, the struggle with mythical monsters, etc.). Some cycles consist of legends grouped around the name of the Nart hero according to the biographical principle, others according to the genealogical principle. An important place in the epos of the Balkars and Karachays is occupied by the legends devoted to the Nart blacksmith Debet, his son Alaugan and his grandson Karashawai.
