The Turkic epic incorporates a vast body of oral folklore, including tales, myths, and legends, reflecting the history, culture, and worldview of the Turkic peoples. The article highlights the problem of the hero archetype in the Karakalpak epic “Alpamys”. The hero archetype is embodied here through the universal model of the “hero’s journey.” The presence of trickster traits in the character provides its complexity and multifacetedness, and also determines the duality of Alpamys's nature.
