"Starost" poetskog lika srbina junaka I uzrok njegove popularnosti u južnoslovenskoj narodnoj poeziji

Abstract

Predmet rada je pitanje vremena ulaska poetskog lika koji kao vlastito ime nosi etnik Srbin u narodnu poeziju Južnih Slovena I uzrok njegove prilične zastupljenosti u epskim I lirskim pesmama na prostoru današnje Makedonije, severne Grčke I zapadne Bugarske u 19. veku. U radu je ukazano na vezu kontinu-irane upotrebe etnika Srbin kao antroponima u današnjoj zapadnoj Makedo-niji između 15. I 19. veka I popularnosti pesama o istoimenom junaku u istoj oblasti. Izneta je hipoteza da je pre 18. veka bio junak lokalnog folklora ove oblasti, te da se pesma o njemu tokom vremena proširila na ostale krajeve.

The paper deals with the period in time when a poetic character, bearing the title "ethnic Serb" as if it were his own personal name, was introduced into epic and lyric poetry of the South Slavs, and the cause of his vast representation in epic and lyric poetry in the area of today's Macedonia, North Greece and West Bulgaria in the 19th century. The paper indicates towards a continued use of the ethnic Serb as an anthroponym in today's West Macedonia between the 15th and 19th centuries and the popularity of poems about an eponymous hero in the same area. A hypothesis was therefore introduced claiming that before the 18th century he was a hero of the local folklore of this area, with poems describing him expanding to other regions over time.
