Ilya rode across an open field, defending Rus' from enemies from his youth to old age.

The good old horse was good, his Burushka-Kosmatushka. Burushka has a tail of three saplings, a mane up to the knees, and wool of three spans. He did not look for a ford, he did not wait for transportation, he jumped over the river with one bound. He saved old Ilya Muromets from death hundreds of times.

It is not the fog that rises from the sea, it is not the white snow in the field that turns white, it is Ilya Muromets who is riding across the Russian steppe. His head and his curly beard turned white, his clear gaze became clouded:

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

Ilya drives up to three paths, at the intersection there is a stone, and on that stone it is written: “Whoever goes to the right will be killed, whoever goes to the left will become rich, and whoever goes straight will be married.”

Ilya Muromets thought:

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

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

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

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

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

Is it worth cutting off an old man’s head for such a small thing?!

The chieftain of the robbers got angry:

He's the one making fun of us! Oh, you old devil, gray wolf! You talk a lot! Hey guys, cut off his head!

Ilya jumped off Burushka-Kosmatushka, grabbed the hat from his gray head, and began waving his hat: where he waves, there will be a street, and where he waves, there will be a side street.

In one swing, ten robbers are down, in the second - not even twenty in the world!

The chieftain of the robbers prayed:

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

Ilya Muromets grinned:

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 follow me.

The robbers tell him:

One red sun in this world - one such hero in Rus', Ilya Muromets!

You come to us, hero, as a comrade, you will be our chieftain!

Oh, brother robbers, I will not go to be your comrade, and you too will go to your places, to your homes, to your wives, to your children, you will stand by the roads, shedding innocent blood.

Ilya turned his horse and galloped away.

He returned to the white stone, erased the old inscription, and wrote a new one: “I drove in the right lane - I was not killed!”

Well, I’ll go now, where should a married man be!

Ilya drove three miles and came out into a forest clearing. There are golden-domed towers, silver gates are wide open, and roosters are crowing on the gates.

Ilya drove into a wide courtyard, twelve girls ran out to meet him, among them the beautiful princess.

Welcome, Russian hero, come to my high tower, drink sweet wine, eat bread and salt, roasted swan!

The princess took him by the hand, led him into the mansion, and sat him down at the oak table. They brought Ilya sweet honey, overseas wine, fried swans, grainy rolls... She gave the hero something to drink and feed, and began to persuade him:

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

The princess took Ilya to the sleeping quarters, and Ilya goes and thinks: “It’s not without reason that she’s being kind to me: what’s more important to the princess than a simple Cossack, an old grandfather! Apparently, she has something planned.”

Ilya sees that there is a chiseled gilded bed against the wall, painted with flowers, and he guesses that the bed is tricky.

Ilya grabbed the princess and threw her onto the bed against the plank wall. The bed turned and a stone cellar opened up, and the princess fell into it.

Ilya got angry:

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

Oh, unknown grandfather, we have never even seen the keys, we will show you the passages to the cellars.

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

That’s why the princess invited the golden-domed ones into her mansion!

Ilya says to the kings and heroes:

You, kings, go through your lands, and you, heroes, go to your places and remember Ilya of Muromets. If it weren't for me, you would have laid your heads in a deep cellar.

Ilya pulled the queen's daughter out into the world by her braids and cut off her wicked head.

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

Well, now I’ll go on the road where the rich can be.

As soon as he drove three miles, he saw a large stone of three hundred pounds. And on that stone it is written: “Whoever is able to roll a stone will be rich.” Ilya strained himself, rested his feet, went knee-deep into the ground, gave in with his mighty shoulder and rolled the stone out of place.

A deep cellar opened under the stone - untold riches: silver, gold, large pearls, and yachts!

Ilya Burushka loaded her with expensive treasury and took her to Kyiv-grad. There he built three stone churches so that there would be a place to escape from enemies and to sit out from the fire.

He distributed the rest of the silver, gold, and pearls to widows, orphans, and did not leave a single half for himself.

Then he sat down on Burushka, went to the white stone, erased the old inscription, wrote a new inscription: “I went to the left - I was never rich.”

Here Ilya’s glory and honor went forever, and our story reached its end.

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

Proverbs for the epic "Three Trips of Ilya Muromets"
The Russian land is famous for its heroes.
The heroic hand strikes one day.
And there is only one warrior in the field.

Summary, brief retelling of the epic "Three Trips of Ilya Muromets"
Once Ilya Muromets goes out into an open field, sees the Alatyr stone lying at the intersection of three roads, and there is an inscription on the stone.
Ilya Muromets marveled and read the inscription. And it was said there that if you go straight - you will be killed, if you go to the right - you will be rich, if you go to the left - you will be married.
Ilya Muromets thought and decided that he did not need wealth, because he lives alone, he has no family. It’s too late for him to get married too - his youth is long gone. But going straight is the best thing for a good fellow.
And Ilya Muromets went to where the dead man should be.
He arrived in the Smolensk swamps and saw forty thousand robbers standing in the swamps. The robbers saw Ilya and were happy. They wanted to rob him, take away his horse and his wealth.
But Ilya immediately admitted that he had no wealth, but only a heroic horse, a heroic saddle, a bridle on a horse, and a harness weighing forty pounds.
And how Ilya began to wave this helmet, and killed all the robbers.
Ilya returned to the stone and wrote that the straight road was now clear.
Ilya went to where the married man should be.
He drives and sees white stone chambers. A beautiful girl greets Ilya and leads him to the table by her white hands. He starts asking questions. And Ilya says that there is no need to ask questions, but first let the hero rest. The girl took Ilya to the bedroom and laid 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 basements, returned to the stone and corrected the second inscription.
Ilya went in the third direction. I found three cellars with gold and silver. He distributed all the gold and silver to the poor, orphans and homeless people.
Ilya returned to Alatyr stone and corrected the last inscription

TOPIC: Epic genre of oral folk art. “Ilya’s three trips” 1

Ilya Muromets Alyosha Popovich Guess the names and tell me what unites them? Dobrynya Nikitich Bodnyyar Kinichti Shalya Pochivop Iyal Rumotsem 2

V. Vasnetsov. Bogatyrs 1881-1898, oil on canvas, 295.3x446 cm State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow 3

About the painting “Bogatyrs” by V. M. Vasnetsov The field stretches wide and wide. Boundless, irresistible. The free wind hums in the feather grass steppe. High in the summer afternoon sky, wisps of clouds float slowly and proudly. Eagles guard the mounds. A gusty whirlwind picked up, scattered the manes of the mighty horses, and brought the bitter smell of wormwood. The eye of the frantic Burushka, the beloved horse of Ilya Muromets, sparkled. A stern hero. A spear has been made. The heavy right hand is raised. Looks far, far into the distance. His friends are wary - Dobrynya Nikitich, Alyosha Popovich. There is a formidable force in this silent expectation. Sleepless squad. Not a single creature, not even a winged one, will break through. Vasnetsov worked on this painting for many years. He painfully searched for people from whom he could write epic heroes. The prototype of Ilya Muromets was the peasant Ivan Petrov, who worked as a cab driver in Moscow in the winter. In the face of Dobrynya Nikitich there are features of Vasnetsov himself, his father and uncle. The artist based Alyosha Popovich on the young son of Savva Mamontov. In the Russian epic tradition there are many heroes. But Vasnetsov chose these three. Probably because they successfully complement each other. Powerful, stern Ilya Muromets, noble Dobrynya and savvy, resourceful Alyosha Popovich all together form the image of a good force - the defender of Russian borders. This picture is so well known that, wherever the conversation turns to the epic knights, everyone remembers these three, standing at the outpost in a wind-swept field. It seems that they are the most popular and beloved heroes of the Russian people of all times. 4

In the world of Russian epics

“The epic is a story about what happened, what happened, a non-fictional and truthful story” V.I. Dahl

“The Russian people created a huge oral literature: wise proverbs and cunning riddles, funny songs, solemn epics - spoken in a chant, to the sound of strings - about the glorious exploits of heroes, defenders of the earth...” L.N. Tolstoy

EPIC is a folk epic song, a genre characteristic of the Russian tradition. The basis of the plot of the epic is a heroic event, or a remarkable episode of Russian history (hence the popular name of the epic - “old man”, “old woman”, implying that the action in question took place in the past). The term “epic” was introduced into scientific use in the 40s of the 19th century.

In ancient times, people composed epics. They were performed by folk storytellers to the accompaniment of an ancient stringed instrument called the gusli.

V. M. Vasnetsov. "Boyan"

Origin of the word “hero” Where does the word “hero” come from? There is an opinion that it was borrowed from the Turkic languages, where it appears in various forms - baghatur, bagadur, batur, batyr, bator. Scientists (Shchepkin, Buslaev) directly derived “hero” from “God” through “rich”

Scientists classify heroes into older and younger. The older heroes include Svyatogor, Volga Svyatoslavich, Samson, Sukhan, Polkan, Kolyvan Ivanovich, Don Ivanovich, Danube Ivanovich and others. The younger ones include Dobrynya Nikitich, Ivan Danilovich, Alyosha Popovich, Ilya Muromets, Mikula Selyaninovich, Churila Plenkovich, Duke Stepanovich, Danil Lovchenin and others.

Images of heroes are the people's standard of courage, justice, patriotism and strength (it is not for nothing that one of the first Russian aircraft, which had an exceptional carrying capacity at that time, was named by its creators “Ilya Muromets”).

"Ilya Muromets". Reconstruction using the Gerasimov method

MONUMENT TO ILYA MUROMETS IN THE CITY OF MUROM The image of the ancient Russian hero embodied folk concepts of the high moral qualities that a true hero should have. One of the most important qualities of Ilya Muromets is a sense of justice and awareness of his duty - to stand for the truth. He is ready to go into direct conflict with the prince, with the boyars, when he sees that they are not doing the truth. He is a national, all-Russian hero. “I am going to serve for the Christian faith and for the Russian land, and for the capital city of Kyiv-grad, for widows, for orphans, for poor people.”

Conversation 21 -How is an epic similar to a fairy tale? What is the difference? -Does the epic look like a poem? How? -Can Ilya Muromets’ actions be called exploits? Why do you think so?

In ancient times, storytellers played along with themselves on the harp; later, epics were performed in recitative. Epic poems are characterized by a special pure-tonic epic verse. Although the storytellers used only a few melodies when performing epics, they enriched the singing with a variety of intonations and also changed the timbre of their voices. Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov “Guslars”

V. Vasnetsov. Ilya Muromets. (Fragment of the painting “Bogatyrs”) Ivan Petrov, peasant of the Vladimir province Study for the figure of Ilya Muromets in the painting “Bogatyrs” 1883, oil on canvas, State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow. Ilya's three trips 23

V. Vasnetsov. The Knight at the Crossroads Oil on canvas. 1882 Moscow, Russia. State Tretyakov Gallery 24

The plot of a stone at a fork in the road is found in many fairy tales and epics. The stone shows the traveler what fate awaits him on each of the diverging paths. Vasnetsov, having chosen such a plot for the picture, tried to make it as believable as possible. He wanted to convince the audience that everything told in the epics actually happened, albeit in the distant past. The artist was well acquainted with the archaeological research of his time, so he accurately recreated the appearance of the knight of epic times. The landscape is also shown with great historical accuracy - a wild steppe strewn with boulders that were brought here by the last glacier. On one of the stones there are strange half-erased letters. Whose hand knocked them out? In what time immemorial did this happen? What kind of power begins to control the destinies of travelers as soon as they read letters promising death, or marriage, or the loss of a horse? The knight is alone in the endless steppe, and there is no one to tell him which road to choose. Under the stone lie two skulls, a human and a horse. This is the only clue. If you take too long to choose, you can lay down your head right here without ever setting foot on any of the roads. 25

Lesson summary. Reflection 26 Name the distinctive features of epics. absence of rhyme melodiousness rhythmic narration of exploits hyperbole-exaggeration repetition...

Three trips of Ilya Muromets is a Russian folk epic that is loved by both adults and children. It describes how Ilya Muromets travels along different roads. One day he sees the Alatyr stone at a crossroads. It indicates what fate awaits the traveler if he goes straight, right or left. What did Ilya learn when he experienced travel on all roads? Read or listen to the epic itself with your children. She teaches justice, fearlessness, compassion, service to people and one’s homeland.

Ilya rode across an open field, defending Rus' from enemies from his youth to old age. The good old horse was good, his little Burushka-Kosmatushka. Burushka's tail is three fathoms long, his mane is knee-length, and his fur is three spans long. He did not look for a ford, he did not wait for transportation, he jumped over the river with one bound. He saved old Ilya Muromets from death hundreds of times.

It is not the fog that rises from the sea, it is not the white snow in the field that turns white, it is Ilya Muromets who is riding across the Russian steppe. His head and his curly beard turned white, his clear gaze became clouded.

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

Ilya drives up to three paths, at the intersection there is a stone, and on that stone it 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 thought:

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

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

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

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

The chieftain of the robbers got angry:

He's the one making fun of us! Oh, you old devil, gray wolf! You talk a lot! Hey guys, cut off his head!

Ilya jumped off Burushka-Kosmatushka, grabbed the hat from his gray head and began waving his hat: where he waves, there will be a street, and where he waves, there will be a side street.

In one swing, ten robbers are down, in the second - not even twenty in the world!

The chieftain of the robbers prayed:

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

Ilya Muromets grinned:

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 follow me.

The robbers tell him:

One red sun in this world - one such hero in Rus', Ilya Muromets! You come to us, hero, as a comrade, you will be our chieftain!

Oh, brother robbers, I will not go to be your comrade, and you too will go to your places, to your homes, to your wives, to your children, you will stand by the roads, shedding innocent blood!

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

Well, I’ll go now, where should a married man be!

Ilya drove three miles and came out into a forest clearing. There are golden-domed mansions there, silver gates are wide open, and roosters are crowing on the gates. Ilya drove into a wide courtyard, twelve girls ran out to meet him, among them the beautiful princess.

Welcome, Russian hero, come to my high tower, drink sweet wine, eat bread and salt, roasted swan!

The princess took him by the hand, led him into the mansion, and sat him down at the oak table. They brought Ilya sweet honey, overseas wine, fried swans, grainy rolls... She gave the hero something to drink and feed, and began to persuade him:

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

The princess took Ilya to the sleeping quarters, and Ilya walked and thought:

It’s not for nothing that she is affectionate with me: that the prince is not a simple Cossack, an old grandfather. Apparently she has something planned.

Ilya sees that there is a chiseled, gilded bed against the wall, painted with flowers, and he guesses that the bed is tricky.

Ilya grabbed the princess and threw her onto the bed against the plank wall. The bed turned and a stone cellar opened up, and the princess fell into it.

Ilya got angry:

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

Oh, unknown grandfather, we have never even seen the keys, but we will show you the passages to the cellars.

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

That’s why the princess invited the golden-domed ones into her mansion!

Ilya says to the kings and heroes:

You, kings, go through your lands, and you, heroes, go to your places and remember Ilya of Muromets. If it weren't for me, you would have laid your heads in a deep cellar.

Ilya pulled the queen's daughter out into the world by her braids and cut off her wicked head.

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

Well, now I’ll go on the road where the rich can be. As soon as he drove three miles, he saw a large stone of three hundred pounds. And on that stone it is written: “Whoever can roll a stone will be rich.”

Ilya strained himself, braced himself with his feet, went knee-deep into the ground, gave in with his mighty shoulder and rolled the stone out of place.

A deep cellar opened under the stone - untold riches: silver, gold, large pearls, and yachts!

Ilya Burushka loaded her with expensive treasury and took her to Kyiv-grad. There he built three stone churches so that there would be a place to escape from enemies and to sit out from the fire. He distributed the rest of the silver, gold, and pearls to widows, orphans, and did not leave a single half for himself.

Then he sat down on Burushka, went to the white stone, erased the old inscription, and wrote a new inscription: “I went to the left - I was never rich.”

Here Ilya’s glory and honor went forever, and our story reached its end.
