The battle of Eruslan Lazarevich with Tsar Zmeisky. by an Unknown engraver. 1830s-1840s. Etched engraving, cutter, painted. The legend of the long wanderings and many exploits of the Russian hero Yeruslan - the son of the hero Lazar, who defeated the snake-devourer of people and beat off the beautiful girl who became Lazarus's wife, Eruslan - the mother. Since childhood Eruslan has been endowed with enormous power, he could not cope with it himself, that's why he left his parents' house, picking up the hero's horse on the way-he searched for exploits. And he found a lot: he defeated the horde of Prince Daniel Bely, who besieged his native city, freed his father and mother from prison; took possession of the sword that the living head of the deceased Roslan Bogatyr kept.
