- Abstract
In the folklore of any nation, there always have been the fictional characters, which in everyday life are called "evil spirits" or simply "forces of other worlds". There are also good characters, they always help, and do good deeds. Having originated in the primitive consciousness of our remote ancestors, these characters have expressed amazing stability. Not all without exception, of course, and not in absolutely all diversity, but it is necessary to accept that this makes them even more mysterious and attractive to us. In this article, folklore mythological images of the Kazakh and Lithuanian peoples in art have been considered. As it turned out, Kazakh and Lithuanian mythologies have a rich list of various creatures that persecuted man in those distant times. The article describes some mythological creatures of Kazakh and Lithuanian mythology, whose images were widely spread in poems, myths, legends, epics, tales, children's fairy tales, prose, poems, and in art. There are not so many creative works on the subject of mythology in art. The analysis of creative works from the Kazakh and Lithuanian works of art is made. The statement is derived that Kazakh mythology has a large number of sacred animals, that is, its basis is totemism in some of its manifestations. As for Lithuanian mythology, it tends more towards the mythology of ancient times, like the mythology of Greece, Rome, and Egypt. Lithuanians, as well as representatives of these peoples, worshiped a huge number of gods who, according to their beliefs, lived in sacred groves. But there are also similar sides of both sides of mythologies.
