Note 20 — ILYÁ MÚROMETS[20] AND SVYATOGÓR THE KNIGHT

Leonard A. (Leonard Arthur) Magnus translation

Ilyá Múromets is one of the heroes of the Byliny: his great feat is the slaying of the Nightingale Robber. This tale may be eponymous of geography; Svyatogór (Svyáty Góry, Sacred Mountains) Múrom is on the river Oka, in the Province of Vladímir, one of the oldest cities in Russia; the village of Karachárovo is not far off.
