20.500.12556/RUL-169769 Political functions of Slovene national mythological heroes with regard to the changing socio-political circumstances and needs This article explores how the motif of an ordinary man who confronts a powerful antagonist endangering the community has been used to help achieve national political goals. In 1858, Slovenian writer Fran Levstik wrote the tale of Martin Krpan, a mighty hero who saves the Empire. The character was inspired by the folktale hero Peter Klepec, as well as the medieval knight Gašper Lambergar who saved the Holy Roman Emperor. In the twentieth century, writers retold the tale of Peter Klepec at significant historical moments—on the eve of the breakup of the Habsburg Empire and before and after World War II. fairy tales folk tales social function political function political myths national heroes mythological heroes Peter Klepec Martin Krpan pravljice ljudske pripovedke družbena funkcija politična funkcija politični miti narodni junaki mitološki junaki Peter Klepec Martin Krpan true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-06-09 16:22:39 2025-06-09 16:22:47 2025-06-11 04:28:58 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 167-191 no. 2, art. 3 Vol. 11 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 316.7:398.2 2169-0235 216650755 Political_Functions_of_Slovene_National_Mythological_Heroes_with.pdf Political_Functions_of_Slovene_National_Mythological_Heroes_with.pdf 1 615157119E19E9D8B1545331AC83A53B 151809167b53983b8168b76776df72981cef42622aa7ab13b942df30ddd5c9f2 43459cf6-45c5-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=211462 https://digitalcommons.wayne.edu/narrative/vol11/iss2/3/ 1 ba99afcb-453b-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=211460 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
