TURKIC LITERATURE OF MIDDLE AGES AND ITS MYTHOLOGICAL BASIS

Abstract

This research paper investigates the literature and mythology of Turkic literature in the middle Ages. Mythology is an integral part of thinking, and its implementation is carried out in myths and mythologems that make up the mythological concept sphere of the national cultural picture of the world. Myths are attractive primarily for their simplicity, accessibility of perception, figurativeness, and symbolism of presentation. Folklore and mythology are the most ancient, archaic, ideological formations with syncretic characters. Different characters in the Turkic folklore and literary monuments played important roles in creating their world order. The collectors of Turkic folklore and mythology processed various plots and used the features of various characters in their later works.
