The epic is the most magnificent source of ethnocultural thought and have come to the fore on a large scale with the power to encompass everything from the initial imagination to the mythological memory, and from there to the later historical and cultural currents. Eastern and European epics are a typical example of this, allowing for systematic analysis in synchronous and diachronic terms. The landscape created by artistic and aesthetic thinking is based on myths, beliefs and convictions, history, ethnic values, moral norms, ancestry and sanctity, settled ideas, and so on, being a reasonable source in terms of including the path of human civilization as a whole. All this creates ample opportunities to come to full conclusions in terms of the course of the historical and cultural process in typological approaches. Thus, the objective of this work is to analyze the importance of epics as a form of expression of the tradition and identity of different peoples as well as a cultural element that serves as a link between them. For this, several similarities of the epics are analyzed through examples, also highlighting how these reflect in the background the social environment of the peoples that originated them.

Keywords : Epic tradition; Epic; cultural hero.
