Abstract

The article addresses the challenges of unifying the portrayal of heroes in heroic epos, specifically focusing on issues of visualization, their significance, and the underlying prerequisites.
Currently, in various existing book illustrations, paintings, cartoons, and monuments, there is a noticeable inconsistency in the depiction of certain batyrs (heroes), which negatively affects the promotion and recognition of such heroes. The authors emphasize that the lack of a unified image of a batyr prevents a full representation of their character.
Using the epos "Alpamys Batyr" and "Koblandy Batyr" as examples, the article highlights key details that should be considered during the visualization process of the main character. It provides excerpts from these eposes that describe the behavior, lifestyle, and personality of the batyr, illustrating the nuances that should be reflected in the their appearance. The article also notes that illustrations significantly influence how children perceive literary works and explores the educational impact of imprinting the image of the batyr in the minds of the younger generation.
