Abstract: The heroic epic is the original genre of the oral tradition of all peoples. Its further expansion and ideological and substantive changes were determined by the political and socio-cultural environment that formed over time, the state's development level, and the type of society. The "classic" epic has already been demythologized. The epic hero fights for the benefit of society, so he gets the name of a national hero. A religious subtext appears, giving depth to the heroic ideal. This was facilitated by the formation of statehood and the literary processing of folk-art texts. This defines the difference between the heroic epics of large and small countries.
