| Description | In world folklore studies, special attention is paid to determining the role of mythology in the history of artistic thought, the genesis of mythical images, and the functional-semantic interpretations of mythological archetypes in the poetic context of folk epics and written literature. The influence of myth on the system of folk prose genres and the foundation of the theory of neo-mythologism by researching the poetic functions in the artistic text further accelerated the study of the national identity of mythological views and the poetics of myths. The theoretical generalizations obtained as a result of the study of the myth and the process of its diffusion into the folk art are of great importance in the study of the genesis of mythological legends and the system of images in Uzbek folklore promoting and educating the young generation in the spirit of the spiritual values of Uzbekistan's great ancestors is of great practical importance. Mythological legends in Uzbek folklore were scientifically described for the first time by K.Imomov and the specific features of this type of legends were highlighted. Folklorist M. Joraev, who was the first to classify mythological legends, presented his thoughts on the interpretation of mythological legends related to heavenly (cosmogonic) mythology and the folk calendar. Comparative analysis of Arab-Uzbek mythology and "Avesto" Mythological legends were also analyzed in the monographic studies on studying the influence of Uzbek folklore. The purpose of the research is to determine the specific characteristics of the mythological legends of the Uzbek people and clarify the genesis of folk prose genres based on the clarification of the role of archaic myths in the development of the genre of legends. |
