Abstract: The author shows that the image of the magic head in «The story about Eruslan Lazarevich» grows out of reconsideration of a popular metaphor of the Turk folklore which goes back to a world cultural universal «a hill - the head». Combination of eastern, Russian and knightly motives reflected in the history of the legend on Eruslan, shows the difficult way of development of fantasy hand-written story in XVII century.
