SELKUP FOLKLORE HERO ITYA MARRIES: TEXTS WITH THE ACTIVE ROLE OF THE BRIDE – THE ASSISTANT
The article is devoted to the analysis of the plots of Selkup folklore texts with Itya and his opponent – Eater. Analytical review covers one of the identified subgroups of texts in the corpus under study. The subgroup comprises stories with the active role of the bride of the hero, who shows her magical qualities. The result of the analysis suggest that initially, these texts were not included in the narrative repertoire of Itya-tales, but were integrated by storytellers in the process of compiling this folklore series, the process which had yet not been completed by the mid-twentieth century.
Keywords: Selkup folklore, texts with the hero Itya, Samoyedic epos, classification of subjects
