ESCHATOLOGICAL IMAGE OF THE WORLD IN EPIC SONGS ABOUT THE BATTLE OF KOSOVO AND THE DARINKA JEVRIĆ’S POETRY

Abstract

By finding a specific connection between the epic songs and the poetry of Darinka
Jevrić, the paper seeks to demonstrate the forming of the eschatological image of the
world. The eschatology is presented in its christian context, the same way it is formed in
the analyzed poems. The eschatological image of the world is recognized in the apocalyptic
visions that are both in the folk tradition and Darinka Jevrić’s poetry bringing the image
of Kosovo in mind, and in the light meaning of the Eschaton’s vision which comes from
the idea of the resurrection, which is being created in the motifs of the conscious sacrifice
and choosing the kingdom of heaven, and the motifs of the monastery and the fresco.
