The first publication of the legend of the fabulous heroine dates back to the 18th century. The legend passed from the mouth to the mouth was called the "Tale of the Frog and Bogatyr". The authorship is attributed to the ancient historian Herodot. Scythian myths recorded by him were abounded by fantastic plots.
The story was talked about how wandering the missing horses the boys hit the cave and faced an unprecedented being. Semi-mite-half-seater had unprecedented beauty. The girl promised to give the horses if the hero takes her to his wife. Son Skiff, Anaphis and Gelon were born in their union. Father bequeathed to the passage of the test. Young people, having gone to his equipment and armed with a bow, had to task. The prize was the title of king. The ancient Scythian motives dominated in legend are directly related to the understanding of the Divine World an ancient population.
During the retelling of legends, the plot was modified. Divine images simplified. The creature with the body of a woman and snake turned into a princess-frog. She mastered the elements than the Ivan Tsarevich conquered, who came for an abandoned arrow. Slashai frog, where he was invited to the Bogatyr, instantly turned with an exquisite tent. The magic rite has given a princess frog without difficulty, as well as sewing a seamless shirt with the help of violent winds. The abilities of the girl are akin to the magic and the possibilities of cosmic aliens. Wear without seams was "technology", familiar gods and representatives of the highest mind. In this symbol there are details of the occultism and hints of power over space.
The striking beauty, which had a legend character, was the cause of the envy of the Tsarevich brothers and served as a motivation for the burning of the magic skin of the frog. Before disappearing, she called her name and disappeared. Contrary to the usual interpretation, the hero had to search for the impossible not in the kingdom of the blasphemy of the immortal, but in a sunflower country. Ancient people called the solar system. Baba Yaga became assistant Ivan.
Only for the third time on the instructions of the sorcerer, he managed to catch a girl. The reverse way of young kept the riding on the carpet-plane donated by Baba-Yaga. The fact that the Russian folk fairy tale has deep historical roots, indicate not only the hidden subtext and symbolism. There were constellations called the "Field", "Luk", "Star" and "Snake" on the heavenly arch. The ancient stars distinguished the constellation called "Lugal", which means "king". Enlylar's stars perform in the role of winds who stitched the royal seamless shirt.
With the development of astronomy, many constellations combined into larger combinations of stellar shining. So the designations from the familiar fairy tale were disappeared from the sky, and the origin of the usual fabulous images was available only to the most interested readers.
Each author, interpreted the plot, brought his details into it, and the divine images of Scythians changed to be unrecognizable. Mythology disappeared from the plot, the name has simplified, and today the fabulous characters are interested only in small children.
