Mythological Criticism of a Turkish Folk Narrative Poem

Abstract

The word “hapsane” is another form of the word “usane” and “legend” and the poem “hapsane ha hapsane” is one of the common poems in the language of Azeri-speaking people of West Azerbaijan. This legendary poem, with its simplicity and sincerity and having most of the basic features of folklore, includes mythological elements such as travel, the companionship of the wise old man, meta-realities, magic, etc., which gives it a special privilege. It reveals the reason for its permanence and reputation. It is clear that folk tales have a strong connection with myths and by eliminating time and place and in the transcendental space of the ethnic unconscious, they connect the wishes and the very distant past to the present time. This research, using a descriptive-analytical method and a library study, has tried to show that folktales, along with being related to good and goodness and the way of collective production and having elements of life, are related to the beyond and are of mythological contrasts. O like the system of two elements of good and evil; pragmatism in national or ethnic spirit; They have the vividness of the whole existence and the archetype of traveling and searching for the father, ... and with the help of all these elements, they invite people to goodness. On the one hand, they are a tool to preserve the indigenous and ancient culture, and on the other hand, with all hope, they are the foundation for the upbringing and education of the new generation based on the good and popular teachings embedded in the collective unconscious.
