Nagy Theoderik utolsó útja a Csodaszarvas nyomában [antikvár]

The descent of Theoderic the Goth into hell on the giant stag's trail A brief summaryIn my earlier fascicles a short reference was made to the undeniable fact, that the repertoire of the mythical stories, connected with the Miracle Stag or Miraculous Hind, is practically inexhaustible.' The legend of Theoderic the Goth is a good example. This paper investigates some important points of this extremely complicated issue.After an introduction, the first chapter (A meótiszi szarvastörténet ) deals with respective details of the Hungarian Mediaeval Chronicles {i.e. that of Simon de Kéza, the Illuminated Chronicle, and the Gesta of Johannes Thuróczy) and their later variants (as for example the story written or translated by the Chronicler of the Turkish Sultan Great Suleiman). I have made some comments in relation to the so-called "original" Maeotic story which used to be considered a mythical legend about the ethnic origins of the Árpádian family {i.e. the royal house of the kings of the Hungarian Holy Crown and Apostolic Kingdom between 896 and 1301 AD).This ancient legend has it that well before the conquest of the Carpathian Basin around the end of the ninth century AD, two princes, Hunor (the Hun?) and Magor (the Magyar?), had gone out hunting one day, and in a deserted place there appeared before them a hind [cerva], which they followed into the Maeotic marshes (near the Black Sea) as it fled before them. It disappeared again, and though they sought it for a long time, they could find it nowhere. Having at last searched the marshes thoroughly, they found that the place was suited for breeding herds. Therefore they returned to their father Menroth and having been granted his permission they went with all their goods to the Maeotic marshes, there to dwell and raise their herds.These, and other, details belong to the so-called traditional Hunnic lineage and Hunnic tradition of the Árpádian tribal confederacy, and especially of the Árpádian ruling family. The direct antecedents of this so-called Hunnic legend, i.e. the presently known oldest version of the mythic story about the Miracle stag or the Miraculous Hind, was recordedMakkay 2005.
