Magic swords like the mech #kladenets or the mech #samosek that appear in Russian fairy tales and byliny, translate to "#sword of steel", "hidden sword", or #magicsword in English. . Tale of the City of Babylon, the samosek-sword is also called "Asp The Serpent" (Аспид-з��ей), and it was ordered hidden inside the wall by the sword's owner, #Nebuchadnezzar II . Some sources point out that kladenets sword, being a treasure, is frequently connected with, the motif of being hidden inside a wall, under a rock, or under a sacred tree, waiting to be discovered by the bogatyr #hero (just like germanic and norse sword mythologies) . A #bogatyr is an archetype from the #medieval slavic legends. They are the equivalent to #kingarthur 's knights, representing courage, valour and often a keen sense or moral and religious justice. . The word #bogatyr is not originally russian, and most agree it's not of slavic origin either. Bogatyrs appeared around the time of #Vladimirthegreat grand prince of kiev. (980 - 1015) . Some bogatyrs are presumed to be historical figures, while others, like the giant #Svyatogor are purely fictional and possibly descend from #Slavic #pagan #mythology .
