description Among the numerous heroes of the Bosnian oral epic and the overall epic of the South Slavic region, there is Tale Ličanin as the most independent phenomenon - within the epic world, but also outside of it. He has long been recognized as a čauš in wedding-themed songs, a harlequin, an entertainer, and a completely carnivalesque hero, who violates the postulates of the epic world with his appearance and behavior. Still, it does not prevent him from entering every battle with heroic readiness and emerging as an undoubted winner. Therefore, his inner reality must necessarily be different from other epic heroes, because everything his appearance manifests must have some inner reason. There must be some inner driver of him as such. The search for his inner reality flows through a selection of poetic images in which his driving secret appears only in glimpses, which ultimately results in a clear discernment of the exceptional layers of his character as an epic hero. This hero's questionable characterizations are well founded, but their rationale, origin, and function are mostly overlooked.
