Its objectives are varied, however, some are common to all peoples, such as personal protection rituals or rituals to bring abundance, although their manifestations are not always the same. The objective of this article is to discuss one of the most controversial rituals of antiquity: "the killing of the old" or &#8220;seeing-off to the other world&#8221;. This ritual included on one hand the ancestral cult to elderly and on the other hand elements of sacrifice. Although various peoples performed this ritual differently, it is essentially the same and involved giving up the elders who became a burden to a tribe. The rudiments of this ritual are still preserved both in stories, legends and concise and laconic phrases. It is very interesting that when talking about this barbaric and cruel ritual, popular narrators direct it to didactic and educational purposes. The examples considered in the article highlight moral problems and emphasize the respect for the elderly. Referring to the antique and modern historical sources the author tries to reveal the historical aspects of the plot. Special attention is also given to the moments based on the different peoples&#8217; ethnopsychology during the analysis of the folklore samples. Each motive of the plot and their variants inherent in different cultures are studied, also contradictions of the nature of the central character is related both to the demiurge and to the trickster features.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN Los rituales son un fenómeno de gran trascendencia cultural y han marcado pautas en el desarrollo y evolución de las sociedades humanas. Sus objetivos son variados sin embargo, algunos son comunes a todos los pueblos como pueden ser los rituales de protección personal o los rituales para traer abundancia aunque sus manifestaciones no siempre son iguales. El objetivo de este artículo es debatir uno de los rituales más polémicos de la antigüedad: "el asesinato de los viejos" o la "despedida al otro mundo". Este ritual incluía, por un lado, el culto ancestral a los mayores y por otro lado, elementos de sacrificio. Aunque varios pueblos llevaron a cabo este ritual de manera diferente es esencialmente el mismo e implicaba renunciar a los ancianos que se convertían en una carga para una tribu. Los rudimentos de este ritual aún se conservan tanto en cuentos, leyendas y frases concisas y lacónicas. Es muy interesante que cuando se habla de este barbárico y cruel ritual los narradores populares lo dirigen a propósitos didácticos y educativos. Los ejemplos considerados en el artículo resaltan los problemas morales y enfatizan el respeto por los ancianos. Refiriéndose a las fuentes históricas antiguas y modernas, el autor intenta revelar los aspectos históricos de la trama. También se presta especial atención a los momentos basados en la etnopsicología de los diferentes pueblos durante el análisis de las muestras folclóricas. Se estudian cada motivo de la trama y sus variantes inherentes a las diferentes culturas, además se relacionan las contradicciones de la naturaleza del personaje central tanto con el creador como con los rasgos del tramposo.]]></p></abstract>
