Svyatogor is a Kievan Rus' mythical bogatyr from bylinas. His name is a derivation from the words "sacred mountain". He is always portrayed as a tired and sad knight, very old and nostalgic of his glory past. Some identify his figure with that of the pagan religion that, at the time of the first byliny, was rapidly losing its strength to be supplanted by Christianity. The legends that concern him are contained in two different cycles, that of Kiev and that of the "ancient heroes".
