Divergenced Myth and Transformed Genre
The presentation examines the history of the myth of incest and its genre transformations in the 
Middle Ages in Balkan Cyrillic manuscripts. Text critical analysis shows that these transformations 
are consistent with more general changes in mixed-content miscellanies of the 14
th
-18
th
cc., but the 
Narration about Incest also reflects the influence of multiple sources, layers, and traditions, and it 
probably reached the copyists not only in as part of the written tradition, but also orally. Judging by 
the composition of the miscellanies in which the Story appears and by the linguistic peculiarities 
of the earliest copy (ca. 1380 from the Savina Monastery), the text was first translated from Greek 
before the fourteenth century. The extended version (I) was included in didactic collections that 
were widespread in the Late Middle Ages, and the formal features of the story changed in the next 
version (II), more or less as a reflection of the prevailing eschatological Christian catechism.
