We should find a knife, scrape off the rust, let Iphicle drink. Iphicles had a son. Melamp brought cows to his brother and he married Pero (Apol:16-17; myth 1:171).

He threw another apple to the ground./Atalanta already took two, divine, fast in running, /He threw the third apple at the target close to the ground, /So he managed to avoid death, and black death. /Run his own I finished breathing deeply...� (trans.

They set him between and the groom ran unarmed, and she caught up with him armed and, if she caught up with him before, killed and nailed his head on the treadmill. When she had won and killed many, she was finally defeated by Hippomenes, the son of Megareus and Merope. After all, he received three apples of great beauty from Venus and she taught him what to do with them. By leaving them during the competition, he held back the girl's onslaught. After all, while she was collecting them and marveling at the gold, she bent down and lost the victory to the young man. Similar to his ingenuity, he willingly married him his daughter� (trans. D.O.

Wanting to send her mature son, he asks for help to marry Oinomai's daughter Hippodamia. P. inadvertently says that he will not even deny him the Gorgon's head. P. sends him for her. Athena and Hermes brought him to Fork's three old women. The Gorgons lived across the ocean, �near the end of the Night� (Hes. Theog. 274-276. Per. Veresayeva V.V.). According to Apollodorus, Stheno, Euryala, and Medusa have brass arms and golden wings (Bibl. II. 4. 2), Medusa has snake hair on her head (Aeschyl. Prom. 864; Pind. Pyth. X. 45-50; Ovid. Met. IV. 771, VI. 119). Led by the gods, Perseus first came to Fork's gray-haired and blind daughters, Grayam. Their numbers vary: in Theogony, they have two sisters (Hes. Theog. 270-273), Aeschylus has three (Prom. 858). Perseus took away Gray's only eye and tooth; returned them after they had shown the way to the nymphs. From the nymphs, P. takes Hades's hat, shoulder bag and winged sandals, with which the hero flies across the ocean. P. finds Gorgon sleeping. Outwardly, the three gorgons are the same, and Athena and Hermes help P. identify the only mortal among them, Medusa. Hermes gives him a crooked sword, Athena guides his hand. Looking at the shield like a mirror, P. cuts off Medusa's head. He puts his head in a bag. The winged horse Pegasus and Chrysaor (the father of the giant Gerion), the children of Medusa and Poseidon, fly out of the decapitated body. Using Hades's winged sandals and hat, P. escapes from the survivors of the Gorgon, heads to Serif, and meets Andromeda chained to a rock, put up for consumption by a sea monster. P. kills him with Medusa's head. Before marrying Andromeda, Perseus fights with her ex-fiance Phineas and other conspirators, winning thanks to Medusa's head. After marrying Andromeda, P. returns to Serif with her. King Polydectes, who persecuted Danae during her son's absence, is killed at the sight of Medusa; Perseus gives Hades's sandals, bag and hat to Hermes, and Gorgon's head to Athena. Hermes returns the items she has received to the nymphs, and Athena places the Gorgon's head in the middle of her shield. P. becomes the ruler of Tirinth.

He said: forges. And he said to his son, Be your blacksmith. The average dreamed of a field and millet. He said to be your plowman. I asked the younger one. Mikita replied, �They washed my feet and you drank that water.� The father said: a fool is stupid and dreams. Father and sons went to dig, and Mikita dressed in festive clothes and wore them on the road. And a merchant was driving along the way, and he asks: Who goes? The father replies: �This is my son, a reveler. He's not smart enough.� �Sell it to us,� says the merchant. Mikita asked Arshin: he measured the ground for them and dug a hole. The merchant gave his father the best horse for ransom. And a merchant bought it because the son himself did not have it. The merchant says: it's time for you to marry. Mikita refused. His father gave him a small shop. A year passed, another year passed, my father's shops rotted, and Mikita's shops expanded, and trade began. Other merchants persuaded me to write to the king on behalf of Mikita: there is a king in one kingdom, and his daughter is Maria Pavlovna, and I would marry her for our king. �Otherwise we will not be merchants if we don't ruin Mikita,� the merchants decided. Mikita was summoned by the king. Sends him as a matchmaker. Mikita asks for 12 more of these Mikit: �one voice, one hair, the whole breed is like that!� And horses are the same. We found 12 Mikits. And Mikita says: let me study science for 3 years: learn different skills. Three years have passed, Mikit the King calls back. He feasts with the eldest for three days, and gather matchmakers on the road. We met two wolves on the road that they would not share the horse's head. Divided them equally. Then they greet him with goosebumps: he asks to save the ant family from the fire, and she will help him. Then the mouse was carried through the fire. Next up are the bees. He tore the flower in half to the bees. We came to see the king. They set up tents. The king saw the tents: go find out if he says who puts up tents near the palace without asking. They introduced themselves as matchmakers. The king called me to his place. It went 5 Mikit. The king is amazed, he has never seen all 5 of them be the same. Mikita the chief speaks for himself and calls for marriage. They called the princess. She said yes. We drank and walked for three days and three nights. �If you solve the riddle, I'll marry you,� says the king. �If you don't guess, you go without heads.� Mystery: �I have wheat ricks, 12 fathoms in width and height. During the night, you need to grind it, pour it into the bins, but do not unfold the ricks and untie the sheaves.� I came to the tent. Goosebumps say, go to bed, everything will be done in the morning. Indeed, everything was done. We walked again and feasted for three days. �It's time to get married,� Mikita says. �Get my daughter some shoes like mine and bring your heads on a platter or not,� the king replies. This time the mouse helped. We've done everything. They feasted again for three days. �Make the church wax,� says the king again. Bees helped: they made priests and bells. We got married at lunchtime. They feasted again for three days and three nights. We made a carriage. But there are no horses. The king says: there is a mare, she has 12 stallions, all gold and silver, if you can't reach it, you can't take your head off. Wolves helped. They go to the princess, and Mikita says: I did not marry for myself, but for my king. King Mikita is waiting, has prepared a hole, sees them going: he saw the princess ran towards him, and fell into the hole himself, and Mikita ordered him to bury him there. And he became king himself. I went to visit my father. He asked for a drink from the pelvis, and Mikita says: She is not clean, I washed my feet in it. And he answers: clean, you're king.

With the help of a horse, he does everything. The brothers tell their father that Ivan can get samogi geese. Ivan ends up with Baba Yaga, who gives him a ball, and he leads him to his middle sister Yaga, the mother of Zmey Gorynych, who keeps harps. The mother feeds her son, puts him to play cards with Ivan, and the players agree that the winner will eat the loser. Ivan wins in two days, asks to give him the harp, the Serpent gives it away, rejoices that he remains alive and has not been eaten. The father again, after lying to his elder sons, orders Ivan to get Mary Korolevna. He comes by boat, lures the princess to him by playing the harp (he never heard), and brings it to his father. The father then gives all orders to his son at the bride's request and demands to bring her box. Ivan distracts the palace guards by releasing his golden horse, takes out the box and brings it back. He catches 12 mares on his father's orders: he wraps his horse with twine and pours tar over him � he drives horses out of the sea, his protection is torn by the horses' teeth.

The swan does not appear on the lake, a pike appears, tells Ivan that Elena ran away from the Idol Tsar, turning into a swan, but dropped her ring.

She wakes up in the morning, opens the window, sees a woman walking down the street, carrying her son to eat in a pot. The count's son, to test his accuracy, shoots a pot and breaks it. The woman sees him laughing and says that she barely begged her son for food. She curses him to marry only Seipentel Ilona. The guy runs after his grandmother and asks where she is. She replies that where ninety-nine human heads are on stakes, and she leaves. The count's son does not find a place for himself, gets ready and goes to look for his betrothed. He sees how the bear crushes ants, feels sorry for ants, drives the bear into the thicket. The ants give him a pipe that he can summon to help him. The guy goes on and sees that the boys have caught the fox and are beating it. He asks to keep her and pays them in crown. The fox gives him a pipe to start playing on, and she'll come to his aid. The count's son comes to the water and sees fish beating. He throws bread to the fish. The fish calms down, thanks him and gives him a pipe to call for help. More often than not, he runs into a hut, with 99 human heads around on poles. He comes in and sees that woman on the stove he broke the pot with. She gives him service by telling him to care for her three mares. If he doesn't bring him back, his head will be on the pole. The boy falls asleep, and when he wakes up, he does not find mares. He calls ants with a flute, they explain that mares have become ants. Real ants will start biting them, then they'll start running away. When the first one runs and then the second one, you don't have to do anything, and when the third one runs, you should click on it with a whip and say, �Become what you used to be!� That's what the guy does. In the evening, the woman checks, sees mares, gets angry and hits them with an iron club (this is her daughters). In the morning, she orders her daughters to go to the water and become fish. When the guy wakes up, he calls fish with a flute. She reports that mares have become goldfish. Real fish will bite them. When a third one jumps out of the water, you should whip her and say: �Become what you were!� That's what the guy does. The woman is angry in the evening, beats the mare with a fiery whip, accusing them of being in a love relationship with the guy. They deny and tell their mother that she is wise and he is wiser. On the third day, the mares go missing again. The fox, summoned by a flute, explains that the woman turned them into eggs, put them in a basket on the stove, and sat on them herself. But the woman has a rooster in the attic. The fox will call the ferret, which will start chasing the rooster. The woman will get up from her eggs and climb to save the rooster. Then you should run into the hut, whip the balls and say, �Be what you were!� The ferret begins to chase the rooster, the woman, hearing a scream, climbs into the attic. The guy hits the eggs, the mares are back in the barn, the guy sits on a chair. Baba is convinced that he is wiser than her. He says he served her faithfully and asks what he asks for his service. He wants to stay in service for three more years. Baba agrees, takes him to a big lake in the morning, gives him a wooden shovel, a wooden hoe, a wooden minting, and tells him to fill up and walled up the lake so that she can ride on horseback, if not will do � be his head on a stake. His tools break right away, he sits and grieves. Babina, Seipentel's daughter Ilona, brings him something to eat and finds out the reason for his grief. After feeding him, she puts him into a deep sleep, whistles to summon the devils. They fall asleep and walled up the lake. When the guy wakes up, he notifies the woman, she checks, but the lake does not break through under the horse. The next day, she sends him into the thicket. There, the wind scattered beech and oak seeds. They must be collected, each seed separately. At noon, the girl brings food and learns about the task. The guy eats up and falls asleep, because Ilona sleeps on him, and whistles herself, the devils run away, and in an hour all the seeds are collected, as the woman wanted. On the third day, the woman orders to cut down the thicket, dig it up, and sow it with wheat. The wheat must ripen before the evening, and he must squeeze it, bring it, grind it, grind the flour and bake the bread. The guy cuts down one tree and gets tired. SI wants to bring him an afternoon snack, but the woman yells at her, even breathes fire, suspecting that she is doing all the work for him, he is not so wise, let his sister carry it. But after a while she calms down and leaves her daughter alone. SI brings an afternoon snack, finds the guy crying. When he has eaten lunch, she takes a deep nap on him, and she calls the devils like sea sand. Everything is ready for the evening. Ilona wakes him up, gives him a fresh roll and asks him to tell the woman when she asks him what he wants for his service, what he wants to stay with her for another three years. Baba pretty agrees. The count's son stays with her, does everything well, but one day, when the woman falls asleep, SI and his boyfriend are preparing for a long journey. SI turns himself and his boyfriend into pigeons, they're flying, SI asks if you can't see anything. The guy turns around and says he sees a cloud of fire. She replies that this is a mother and that she will turn herself into a mill and him into an old miller. The old woman will ask if he saw two pigeons, and he must say he saw it a long time ago. Baba decides it's not them and returns home. SI turns them back into pigeons and they're flying to his land. She asks again, and he sees a cloud of fire again. Then SI turns himself into grass and him into a moth. He tells the woman that he saw two pigeons when he was clearing this field under the meadow. Baba is coming home. The two pigeons are on their way again. After a while, SI asks again who he sees. He replies that the woman is on a fire horse. SI turns them into fish, but tells them not to stick their heads out of the water, or she'll go blind and she'll talk to her mother. But the guy wants to hear what they're talking about, sticks his head out of the water, the woman steals his eyes and returns home. The girl cries, goes behind his eyes as a dove. At home, she gives her mother and sisters a deep sleep, climbs into her mother's sinus, pulls out her eyes, and places pigeon eggs instead so that her mother thinks how she'll wake up, that her eyes are in her bosom. She flies to the riverbank and gives the guy his eyes back. They fly to his village. The guy is happy, he is leading the girl by the hand. She asks where he's taking her. He says he's going to their homestead. She tells me not to do this because they don't know her yet, and asks me to take her to their innkeeper neighbor, and she'll serve with him. In a month, let him tell his father and mother that he wants to get married. They'll get married then, but he must remember not to let anyone at home kiss him. The guy leaves his betrothed with the innkeeper and returns to his parents himself. They are happy to hug him, they want to kiss him, but they don't give him. The tired person goes to bed, in the evening an aunt comes to them and kisses a sleepy man in bed. He forgets about the girl. It takes two weeks and two months. His relatives decide to marry him. They choose a bride, marry, and set a wedding day. SI knows everything, he cries, makes the guy fall and sprains his leg. They send for a doctor, and the innkeeper's servant says she'll heal him faster. That's what happens. The guy asks her what to reward her with. She doesn't want anything but asks me to invite her to the wedding. The wedding day is coming. She bites through a golden nut, takes out its golden clothes and comes to the wedding. Young people are just about to get married. But when a young woman sees an innkeeper's servant, she refuses to get married until she is bought the same dress. They start looking for silver clothes. They can't find it anywhere and have to buy from the maid, they promise to pay her dearly. She doesn't want anything, she asks permission to be with the young man. C kisses the guy, talks about everything, but he doesn't remember anything. A servant hides under the bed and hears everything the girl said. �I saved your life six times and you forgot everything! But it's not all missing yet. At dawn I will be cuckoo cuckoo at your house, and then you'll see me, then you'll recognize me...� She's going home. The servant crawls out from under the bed and talks about what he heard to the young master. After that, the guy remembers everything. In the morning he goes out into the yard, sees a cuckoo, and immediately remembers SI. But the cuckoo flies away. The count's son is getting ready to go. The bride says that they will not get married, she may marry someone else. He orders iron tables from the master and goes around the world. I've been looking for a betrothed for seven years. One day he sits under a willow, looks � the tables are torn. Thinks she's the only place she should be if his desks are broken. A cuckoo cuckoo cuckles plaintively on the willow. The guy says this is his Ilonka. The bird says it's his. He invites her to his place. She asks her to be afraid she won't invite her aunt, who kissed him, to the wedding. He takes an oath. Then she flies off and becomes a girl. The guy is happy, takes her hand and brings her to her parents.
