metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In modern humanities, there is a heightened interest in the problems of religious mythology,
  which determine the spiritual aspects of the ethnic and cultural traditions of peoples. As is
  well known, many theological representations of antiquity are preserved in an epic interpretation,
  as evidenced by the famous mythological poems of the Near East, India, Greece, etc.
  Therefore, the study of the sacred world of the Buryat Hesariad, represented by the pantheon
  of epic deities, seems relevant. With a general lack of knowledge of the religious-mythological
  tradition of the Eastern steppe, a complex of Uranic deities of Buryat mythology is first interpreted
  in close connection with the heavenly genesis of the epic hero. First of all, this article
  explores the pantheon of deities in Buryat mythology associated with the cult of the sky. In
  comparative terms, a description is given of the world of the gods, contained in the heavenly
  prologue of the epos “Geser.” The author comes to the conclusion that in the epos of Geser,
  the most “hereditary” features of the original epic tradition of Central (Inner) Asia, as well as
  many elements of the ancient axiological fund of Mongolian peoples, remain. The article also
  examines the aspects of the image of Khormusta and its transformation in the system of the
  Buryat-Mongolian religious mythology and shamanist tradition.
