Russian epos 1.

"Ilya and Solovey ("Nightingale-rab")". (A. Fantalov, 1994).

Ilya Muromez (from town Murom) is the most famous hero of Russian epos. And the most exploit of him is a victory over Nightingale-rab (or "Serpent-horned falcon"). This monster lieved in its nestle on nine oaks and killed men by means of its whistle.

 

 

"Ilya and titan". (A. Fantalov, 1994).
