Zhernosenko, I. A. Semantic Field of Griffon Image in Pazyryk Culture

Abstract: The article is devoted to one of the most discussed and contradictory image of the Altai ancient culture — griffon which was a frequently used symbol in all Scythian myths. At the end of his study the author concludes that the image of griffon is not only an attribute of Universal mythologies but it also plays the role of a cultural constant which marks the borderline states and moments of ‘transfer’ both in the social and sacral meaning of it.


Keywords:

cultural studies, mythology, cosmogony, semantics, solar, chtnonic, cult, symbol, griffon, Scythians.
