Apology for myth in history

The author proceeds from the understanding of myth by A.F. Losev. The existence of myth in history is closely connected with two processes that are outwardly far removed from each other, but internally inextricably linked - the search for a historical alternative and praise on the pages of History, which is called the retribution of glory. A person may wake up famous the next day after committing an act, or he may wait a very long time for general recognition of his own merits, but never achieve lifetime fame. This recognition or non-recognition by rumor of the merits and merits of an individual lies one of the particular manifestations of the alternative nature of the historical process. There is a very long time lag between the commission of an outstanding historical act and its worthy historical assessment, which is given by posterity. The tense situation of recognition or non-recognition of merits to History is greatly complicated by the alternative nature of the historical process.
