Constructional differences between the Kyrgyz Epic “Kococas” and the Karacay-Malkar Epic “Binoger”
For a very long time it has caught the attention of scientific researchers that both the “Kojojas” Epic (from the Central Asian Turks Kyrgyz), and the “Biynoger” Epic (from Caucasian Turks Karacay-Malkar), have similarities in essence and archaic motifs which consider both to be among mythological Epics.
General Joint Motifs: 1. Hunting motifs, 2. The motif of being in confrontation with the protector (totem) of an animal 3. The punishment of being stranded on a high cliff as a result of being cursed 4. The hunter jumping off the cliff to his death being the work of the curse. When these mythological factors are taken into consideration not as separate elements, but as the general make up of the Epics determines these epics to be viewed as mythological Epics. Although both these epics share common motifs and in essence are very similar, they can both be separated due to their constructive facts. In this report we will be concentrating on these differences and also analysing the differences arising from factors such as time, place, and differences of language.
