The poetic text of the epic "Ilya's three trips". the fabulous character of the epic

Fifteen Russian epics have survived to this day about the courageous hero Ilya Muromets.

Ilya Muromets - the hero of the Slavic epic

According to the plots of some epics, Ilya Muromets could not move his arms and legs until the age of 33, but one monk healed him. After the man drank the water specially prepared for him by the monk, he felt inhuman strength in himself, and went to serve the prince.

In the image of Ilya Muromets, the Russian people embodied the idea of ​​a brave warrior who would not be afraid to defend his people and fatherland.

The prototype of Ilya Muromets was a real person - the strong man Ilya from the city of Murom, who lived in the 12th century. This man became famous for his courage in battles and loyalty to the prince. In adulthood, he took monastic vows and was canonized in 1643.

Epic "Ilyins three trips"

When Ilya Muromets was driving to the service of the prince, on the way he saw a stone with three inscriptions. The first inscription said that if Ilya went to the right, he would be killed, to the left, he would be married, straight ahead, he would become rich.

The hero did not want wealth, since he already had it. He also did not need a young wife. Ilya Muromets decided to try his fate and go to the right, where he was threatened with death. Ilya saw a flock of robbers who were trying to rob the old man.

With one blow, he defeated all the villains and went back to the stone to correct the inscription on it. Then, Ilya went to the left, in the direction where the beautiful wife was waiting for him. Ilya saw the beautiful princess, who immediately took him to the bedchamber.

However, the clever hero did not lie down on the bed, but threw the princess onto it first. The bed immediately fell into the abyss - it was a trap prepared for Muromets. Ilya returned to the stone again, and decided to follow the road, where untold wealth awaited him.

The first thing that the hero saw was a large cross of silver and gold. He took a heavy cross on his shoulder and carried it to the capital city of Kiev. In Kiev, Ilya Muromets built a beautiful church, on the dome of which he attached this cross.

After that, our hero turned into stone, and remained forever in his church.

About the epic "Ilyina three trips"

Reading the epic Ilya's Three Rides, we see the character of the protagonist: he is not afraid of difficulties, easily passes all the tests that fate sends him. Ilya defeated the evil princess who wanted to kill him, many robbers who mocked people.

He received the Golden Cross as a reward for his exploits. However, the hero did not pursue wealth, so he gave the cross to the church, where he was supposed to be.

We see that the hero Ilya Muromets is not only strong, but also cunning: he immediately felt that the princess was preparing a trap for him and was able to avoid danger.

Review of the epic "Three trips of Ilya Muromets"
This is a very beautiful epic, in which the theme of Ilya Muromets' three trips is played out. Ilya in the epic is already an elderly, experienced hero who sees disorder and seeks to fix everything. He destroys robbers, puts liars in cellars, distributes gold to the poor.
And the corrected Alatyr-stone seems to me symbolic. Ilya has been everywhere, but not a single prophecy has come true. Because a heroic fate is special, to defend the Motherland.

The Russian land is glorious for its heroes.
The heroic hand beats once.
And one soldier in the field.

A summary, a short retelling of the epic "Three trips of Ilya Muromets"
Once Ilya Muromets drives out into an open field, sees the Alatyr stone at the crossroads of three roads, and there is an inscription on the stone.
Ilya Muromets was surprised and read the inscription. And it was said there that if you go straight - to be killed, to go to the right - to be rich, to go to the left - to be married.
Ilya Muromets thought, decided that he did not need wealth, because he lives alone, he has no family. It's too late for him to marry - his youth is long gone. But to go straight for the good fellow.
And Ilya Muromets went to where the murdered man would be.
He arrived in the swamps of Smolensk, he sees forty thousand robbers in the swamps. The robbers saw Ilya and were delighted. They wanted to rob, steal the horse and wealth.
But Ilya immediately admitted that he had no wealth, but only a heroic horse, a heroic saddle, a bridle on a horse, and walking under forty poods in weight.
And how Ilya began to brandish this helmet, and he interrupted all the robbers.
Ilya returned to the stone and wrote that the road was clear now.
Ilya went to where he should be married.
Rides, sees the white-stone wards. The beautiful maiden meets Ilya, leads him by the white hands to the table. Begins to question. And Ilya says that there is nothing to ask, but first let the hero rest. The girl took Ilya to the bedroom and put him on the bed.
And Ilya grabs her across the body, throws her onto the bed, and the girl falls into the basement.
Then Ilya released 12 heroes from the cellars, returned to the stone and corrected the second inscription.
Ilya went to the third side. Found three cellars with gold and silver. He distributed all the gold and silver to the poor, the orphans and the homeless.
Ilya returned to the Alatyr stone, and corrected the last inscription

Drawings and illustrations for the epic "Three trips of Ilya Muromets"

Ilya drove across the open field, defended Russia from enemies from young years to old age. The good old horse was good, his little Burushka-Kosmatushka. Burushka has a tail of three fathoms, a mane up to the knees, and a coat of three spans. He didn’t look for a ford, he didn’t wait for a ferry, he jumped the river at one gallop. He saved old Ilya Muromets hundreds of times from death.

It is not the fog that rises from the sea, it is not the white snow in the field that whitens, Ilya Muromets is riding across the Russian steppe. His head whitened, his curly beard, his clear gaze clouded over.

Oh you old age, you old age! You found Ilya in an open field, flew like a black raven! Oh you, youth, youthful youth! You flew away from me like a clear falcon!

Ilya drives up to three paths, a stone lies at the crossroads, and on that stone is written: "Whoever goes to the right will be killed, whoever goes to the left will be rich, and whoever goes straight will be married."

Ilya Muromets wondered:

What is the use of wealth to me, the old one? I have no wife, no children, no one to wear a colored dress, no one to spend the treasury. Should I go where a married man should be? Why should I, old man, marry? It's not good for me to take a young woman, but to take an old woman, lie on the stove and sip jelly. This old age is not for Ilya Muromets. I'll go along the path where the murdered man will be. I will die in an open field, like a glorious hero!

And he drove along the road where the murdered man should be.

As soon as he drove off three miles, forty robbers attacked him. They want to pull him off the horse, they want to rob him, kill him to death. And Ilya shakes his head, says:

Hey, you robbers, you have nothing to kill me for and nothing to rob. All I have is a marten fur coat worth five hundred rubles, a sable hat worth three hundred rubles, and a bridle for five hundred rubles, and a Cherkassian saddle for two thousand. Well, another blanket of seven silks, embroidered with gold and large pearls. Yes, between Burushka's ears there is a gemstone. On autumn nights it burns like the sun, three miles away it is light. And, perhaps, there is Burushka's horse - he has no value in the whole world. Is it worth chopping off the old head for such a small amount ?!

The chieftain of the robbers became angry:

He's the one who makes fun of us! Oh, you old devil, gray-haired wolf! You talk a lot! Hey guys, chop off his head!

Ilya jumped off Burushka-Kosmatushka, grabbed a hat from a gray head and began to wave his hat: wherever he waved, there would be a street, if he waved it off, there would be a side street.

In one stroke, ten robbers lie, in the second - and twenty in the world are gone!

The chieftain of the robbers pleaded:

Don't beat us all, old hero! You take from us gold, silver, a colored dress, herds of horses, just leave us alive!

Ilya Muromets smiled:

If I took the gold treasury from everyone, I would have full cellars. If I took a colored dress, there would be high mountains behind me. If I took good horses, great herds would have chased after me.

The robbers say to him:

One red sun in this world - there is only one such hero in Russia, Ilya Muromets! You go to us, hero, comrades, you will be our chieftain!

Oh, brothers, robbers, I will not go to your comrades, and you are going to your places, to your homes, to your wives, to your children, you will stand by your roads, shedding innocent blood!

Ilya turned his horse and galloped away. He returned to the white stone, erased the old inscription, wrote a new one: "I went to the right lane - I was not killed!"

Well, I'll go now, where to be married!

As soon as Ilya drove three versts, he drove into a forest clearing. There stands a golden-domed mansion, the silver gates are wide open, and the roosters are singing at the gates. Ilya drove into a wide courtyard, twelve girls ran out to meet him, among them a beauty princess.

Welcome, Russian hero, come into my high tower, drink sweet wine, eat bread and salt, fried swans!

The royal took him by the hand, led him into the tower, and sat him at an oak table. They brought Ilya sweet honey, overseas wine, fried swans, large loafs ...

You are tired from the road, tired, lie down and rest on a board bed, on a feather bed.

The princess took Ilya to the sleeping chamber, and Ilya goes and thinks:

It is not for nothing that she is affectionate to me: that the prince is not a simple Cossack, old grandfather. It can be seen that she has something planned.

Ilya sees that there is a chiseled-gilded bed against the wall, painted with flowers, he guessed that the bed is cunning.

Ilya grabbed the prince's daughter and threw her on the bed against the wall. The bed turned, and a stone cellar opened, and the princess fell into it.

Ilya got angry:

Hey, you nameless servants, bring me the keys to the cellar, or I'll cut off your heads!

Oh, unknowable grandfather, we have never seen the keys, but we will show you the passages to the cellar.

They led Ilya into deep dungeons; Ilya found the doors of the cellar: they were covered with sand, thick oak trees were heaped up. Ilya dug up the sands with his hands, pushed the oaks with his feet, opened the cellar doors. And there are forty kings-princes, forty tsars-princes and forty Russian heroes.

That is why the princess called the golden-domed to her chambers!

Ilya says to kings and heroes:

You go, kings, in your lands, and you, heroes, in your places and remember Ilya Muromets. If it weren't for me, you would lay down your heads in a deep cellar.

Ilya pulled the prince by the braids into the white light and cut off her crafty head.

And then Ilya returned to the white stone, erased the old inscription, wrote a new one: "I went straight - never been married."

Well, now I'll go to the path where the rich will be. As soon as he drove off three miles, he saw a large stone three hundred poods. And on that stone it is written: "Whoever can roll a stone, that rich one will be."

Ilya forced himself, rested his feet, went knee-deep into the ground, gave up with a mighty shoulder - rolled a stone from its place.

A deep cellar was opened under the stone - countless riches: silver, gold, large pearls, and yachons!

Ilya Burushka loaded up an expensive treasury and took her to Kiev-grad. There he built three stone churches, so that there was where to escape from enemies, to sit out from the fire. The rest of the silver and gold, he distributed pearls to widows, orphans, did not leave himself a half.

Then he sat down on Burushka, drove to the white stone, erased the old inscription, inscribed the new inscription: "I went to the left - I have never been rich."

Here Ilya's glory and honor went forever, and our story came to the end.

Ilya traveled across an open field, defended Russia from enemies from young years to old age.

The good old horse was good, his Burushka-Kosmatushka. Burushka's tail has three saplings, a mane up to his knees, and his wool is three spans. He didn’t look for a ford, he didn’t wait for a ferry, he jumped the river at one gallop. He saved old Ilya Muromets hundreds of times from death.

It is not the fog that rises from the sea, it is not the white snow in the field that whitens, Ilya Muromets is riding across the Russian steppe. His head whitened, his curly beard, his clear gaze clouded over:

Oh you old age, you old age! You found Ilya in an open field, flew like a black raven! Oh you, youth, youthful youth! Flew away
you are from me a clear falcon!

Ilya drives up to three paths, a stone lies at the crossroads, and on that stone is written: "Whoever goes to the right will be killed, whoever goes to the left will become rich, and whoever goes directly will be married."

Ilya Muromets wondered:

What is the use of wealth to me, the old one? I have no wife, no children, no one to wear a colored dress, no one to spend the treasury. Should I go where a married man should be? Why should I, old man, marry? It's not good for me to take a young woman, but to take an old woman, lie on the stove and sip jelly. This old age is not for Ilya Muromets. I'll go along the path where the murdered man will be. I will die in an open field, like a glorious hero!

And he drove along the road where the murdered man should be.

As soon as he drove off three miles, forty robbers attacked him. They want to pull him off the horse, they want to rob him, kill him to death. And Ilya shakes his head, says:

Hey, you robber, you have nothing to kill and rob me for.

All I have is a marten fur coat worth five hundred rubles, a sable hat worth three hundred rubles, and a bridle for five hundred rubles, and a Cherkassian saddle for two thousand. Well, another blanket of seven silks, embroidered with gold and large pearls. Yes, there is a gemstone between Burushka's ears. On autumn nights it burns like the sun, three miles away it is light. And, perhaps, there is Burushka's horse - he has no value in the whole world.

Because of such a small amount, is it worth chopping off the old head ?!

The chieftain of the robbers became angry:

He's the one who makes fun of us! Oh, you old devil, gray-haired wolf! You talk a lot! Hey guys, chop off his head!

Ilya jumped off Burushka-Kosmatushka, grabbed a hat from a gray head, and began waving his hat: wherever he waved, there would be a street, if he waved it off, there would be a side street.

In one stroke, ten robbers lie, in the second - and twenty in the world are gone!

The chieftain of the robbers pleaded:

Don't beat us all, old hero! You take from us gold, silver, colored dress, herds of horses, just leave us alive!

Ilya Muromets smiled:

If I took the gold treasury from everyone, I would have full cellars. If I took a colored dress, there would be high mountains behind me. If I took good horses, great herds would have chased after me.

The robbers say to him:

One red sun in this world - there is only one such hero in Russia, Ilya Muromets!

You go to us, hero, comrades, you will be our chieftain!

Oh, brothers-robbers, I will not go to your comrades, and you will go to your places, to your homes, to your wives, to your children, you will stand by your roads, shedding innocent blood.

Ilya turned his horse and galloped away.

He returned to the white stone, erased the old inscription, wrote a new one: "I went to the right lane - I was not killed!"

Well, I'll go now, where to be married!

As soon as Ilya drove three versts, he drove into a forest clearing. There stands a golden-domed mansion, the silver gates are wide open, and the roosters are singing at the gates.

Ilya drove into a wide courtyard, twelve girls ran out to meet him, among them a royal beauty.

Welcome, Russian hero, come into my high tower, drink sweet wine, eat bread and salt, fried swans!

The royal took him by the hand, led him into the tower, and sat him at an oak table. They brought Ilya sweet honey, overseas wine, fried swans, large rolls ...

You are tired from the road, tired, lie down, rest on a board bed, on a feather bed.

The prince took Ilya to the sleeping chamber, and Ilya went and thought: "It is not for nothing that she is affectionate to me: that a simple Cossack is more royal, old grandfather! It can be seen that she has something conceived."

Ilya sees that there is a chiseled gilded bed against the wall, painted with flowers, he guessed that the bed is cunning.

Ilya grabbed the prince's daughter and threw her on the bed against the wall. The bed turned, and a stone cellar opened, and the princess fell into it.

Ilya got angry:

Hey, you nameless servants, bring me the keys to the cellar, or I'll cut off your heads!

Oh, unknowable grandfather, we have never seen the keys, we will show you the passage to the cellar.

They led Ilya into deep dungeons; Ilya found the door of the cellar; they were covered with sand, thick oak trees were heaped up. Ilya dug up the sands with his hands, pushed the oaks with his feet, opened the cellar doors. And there are forty kings-princes, forty tsars-princes and forty Russian heroes.

That is why the princess called the golden-domed to her chambers!

Ilya says to kings and heroes:

You go, kings, in your lands, and you, heroes, in your places and remember Ilya Muromets. If it weren't for me, you would lay down your heads in a deep cellar.

Ilya pulled the prince by the braids into the white light and cut off her crafty head.

And then Ilya returned to the white stone, erased the old inscription, wrote a new one: "I went straight - never been married."

Well, now I'll go to the path where the rich will be.

As soon as he drove off three miles, he saw a large stone three hundred poods. And on that stone it is written: "Whoever can roll a stone, that rich man will be."

A deep cellar was opened under the stone - countless riches: silver, gold, large pearls, and yachons!

Ilya Burushka loaded up an expensive treasury and took her to Kiev-grad. There he built three stone churches, so that there was where to escape from enemies, to sit out from the fire.

The rest of the silver and gold, he distributed pearls to widows, orphans, did not leave himself a half.

Then he sat down on Burushka, went to the white stone, erased the old inscription, wrote a new one: "I went to the left - I have never been rich."

Here Ilya's glory and honor went forever, and our story came to the end.
