This paper is about the development of the epic model of "the three good heroes" in the diachronic perspective. The nomenclature and the functions of the hero are traced and the relationship between variant and invariant elements of the sujet is highlighted. The consequences of the intertwined motives are interpreted in the context of the genre poetics. The purpose of the paper is to establish the extent to which the shaping of the variants includes the factors of the time of performance and locality on which the poem was recorded. This paper also looks at the role of the predominant attitude of the community, as well as the skill of the talented individual.
