Abstracts:
The article reveals the mythological image of Uluu Toyon in the texts of the early records of Olonkho and defines its semantics. The material for the study is the early records of the Yakut heroic Olonkho epos included in the three-volume academic publication “Samples of Yakut Folk Literature” compiled and edited by E. K. Pekarsky. For a detailed analysis of the image, the scheme of mythological character descriptions introduced by L.N. Vinogradova was used. In order to characterize the analyzed image in the most objective way along with the folklore material in a comparative aspect, the author analysedthe information preserved in the ethnographic works of the researchers of Yakut mythology and religion in which the image of Uluu Toyon is controversial, complex and ambiguous. Through the analysis it was revealed that Uluu Toyon in the texts of early records of Olonkho is depicted as a character hostile to the inhabitants of the Middle World. Uluu Toyon and his tribe do not protect, on the contrary, they perform only malignant functions, trying to destroy all living things in the Middle World. The character himself is also represented as lonely, although he has many children and descendants who are barren and unhappy. The protection for the Aar Luuk Sibaet Mas Tree and the sparks of the transparent stove are the protection for the Aayyu people. Thus, in the studied materials of the early Olonkho, Uluu Toyon appears as a devil deity of the Abaasy.
