Old talk

healed by a travelling minstrel

Just one, or a group?

Who?

• Ilya Muromets known to live in XI-XII centuries. His remains are stored in Kiev Pecherski Monastery.
  • Does anyone have references?

-- Sy / ^(talk)

• • • The monk known as Reverend Ilia Muromets whose relics are stored in Kiev Pecharsky Monastery was canonized in 1643. At the time there was no doubt that he was the epic Ilia Muromets. This is also the official point of view of the Orthodox church. But in fact nothing is known about this monk. There are visible wounds on the relics and he probably died from one of them. He is also rather tall for his time - about 177 cm - and has traces of backbone illness that could have left him paralyzed. But many scientists argue that the epic Ilia Muromets is a kind of a fairy-tale character and has no real prototype - only the name could be taken from some real warrior and there could be a great many of them since any Ilia who was born near Murom or served there could be named this way. --AGP 16:39, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I read bylina, where three unnamed piligrims come to Ilya's house when he was alone and ask for food and drink, but Ilya answer "I can't walk". Then piligrims ask again and again. At third time Ilya get off from stove where he lied. If you read russian you can use bylins Sorry my english. --hinotf 09:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Murom is Ugric tribe who lived on this territory

add this to article because his ethnicity is Ugric not Slavic

The Muromians (Russian: Мурома) were one of Finno-Ugric tribes who lived in the Oka River basin of what is now Russia. The tribe farmed, hunted, and traded. The Muromians paid tribute to the Rus princes and were likely assimilated by the Eastern Slavs in the 12th century into modern Russians. Edelward (talk) 22:17, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Any printed evidence that Ilya Muromets was of Muromian tribe rather than simply from Murom region? Please cite your sources. - Altenmann >t 23:45, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Animation

I have a vivid memory of seeing a cartoon on TV called "Ilya Muromets." I believe the hero's theme music was from Mahler's 1st symphony. I think the cartoon was a Soviet production and was shown on NYC TV during a thaw in relations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.150.59.18 (talk • contribs) 15:04, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

• 1) Ilya Muromets, prolog (1975), music from the Symphony No 3 (Ilya Muromets) in B minor, Op. 42 (1911) of Reinhold Glière edited by Tomas Korganov,
  2) Ilya Muromets i Solovey-Razboynik (1978)

Origin

Ilya, as well as the other Bogatyrs, is not a character only in Russian folklore, but also in folklore of other Slavic countries. Therefore, calling him exclusively Russian is incorrect. --M. Humeniuk (talk) 19:15, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
