Consequently, it was determined that the song from Bela Krajina is a more recent, shorter and folk version of Radman's song, which is of an earlier date. Yet paradoxically, the younger Bela Krajina version of the song contains more and older mythological elements than the older original song. This paradox is naturally in accordancewith the ethnological diachronic perspective. Ethnographic analysis also revealed the complexity of both songs. The basis of Radman's song is the Christian biography of St. George, nevertheless the song also contains a few mythological and pagan elements which are part of the basic ancient Slavonic myth about the fertility god, the reconstruction of which has been under way for the last few years. The basic mythological elements detected in the two songs are the spring, dew, wedding and George's sword. In addition, the Bela Krajina song contains mythological elements such as the phrases "ravno polje" (flat field), "zmaja vodenoga" (water dragon) and "boga vodenoga" (water god) and associations between the girl, sacrifice and tithe. Christian elements include the saint, chivalry, baptism, mass, sin, repentance, churches. It transpires that certain motifs from both songs are ambivalent. In other words,they are of both pagan and Christian origins. These are George and his horse, the dragon, tithe and lambAnaliza izhodiščne belokranjske ljudske pesmi Jurij ubije zmaja in reši kraljevo hčer nas je napotila na primerjavo z Radmanovo pesmijo Pisma od Bosne i svetoga Jurja. Izkazalo se je, da je belokranjska pesem mlajša, ponarodela in močno skrčena verzija starejše, Radmanove pesmi. Pri tem pa se je kot paradoksalno izkazalo to, da mlajša, belokranjska različica vsebuje več starejših, mitskih elementov kot starejša, izvirna pesem. Seveda pa je ta paradoks inherenten etnološki diahroni perspektivi. V pričujočem tekstu je z etnografsko analizo prišla do izraza tudi večplastnost obeh pesmi. Osnovna zgodba Radmanove pesmi je krščanska biografija svetega Jurija, vendar se je v pesem že vtihotapilo nekaj mitskih in poganskih elementov, ki so sicer del temeljnega praslovanskega mita o bogu plodnosti, katerega rekonstrukcija intenzivno poteka zadnjih nekaj let. Temeljni mitski elementi, ki smo jih našli v omenjenih pesmicah, so: pomlad, rosa, svatba in Jurijev meč. V belokranjski verziji so še dodatni mitski elementi, in sicer fraze "ravno polje", "zmaja vodenoga" in "boga vodenoga" ter povezava med deklico, žrtvijo in desetino. Krščanski elementi so svetnik, viteštvo, krst, maša, grehi, pokora, cerkve in še kaj bi se našlo. Izkazalo se je, da so nekateri motivi v obeh pesmicah ambivalentni; lahko imajo poganski in krščanski pomen. Ti motivi so Jurij in njegov konj, zmaj, desetina in jagnjeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaŠtudentska založba
