Legend of Marco - Legend of Marco

Japanese: マルコ伝説 - マルコでんせつ
Legend of Marco - Legend of Marco
This is a legend about Prince Marko, the hero of a series of oral epics sung among the South Slavs to the accompaniment of the folk instrument gusla. The model is based on a real person, Prince Marko (c. 1335-1395), the eldest son of King Vukasin, who proclaimed himself monarch with his capital in Macedonia at the end of the medieval Serbian Kingdom, but Marko's image as the hero of the epics is also linked to the supernatural abilities of the heroes of myths and folk tales from the pagan era, and the patriotism of the bandits and righteous thieves (so-called hajduks) who were active in the armed resistance movement during the Ottoman Turkish rule, making him the most popular hero in oral literature as a hero symbolizing the people's fervent desire for national independence.

南スラブ人の間で民族楽器グスレ(グスラ)にあわせて吟唱される一連の口承叙事詩の主人公マルコMarko王子にまつわる伝説。実在の人物である,中世セルビア王国の末期にマケドニア地方のプリレプを首都として君主を自称したブカシン王の長子マルコ王子(1335ころ‐95)を原型とするが,叙事詩の主人公としてのマルコ像には,異教時代の神話や民話の主人公の超自然的能力,オスマン・トルコ支配時代の武力抵抗運動に活躍した山賊・義賊たち(いわゆるハイドゥク)の愛国心も結びつき,民衆の民族独立の悲願を象徴する英雄として口承文学上もっとも人気のある主人公である。
