Ancient Rus is a country known to us all from childhood. When someone mentions it, we immediately see famous fairy-tale characters in front of our eyes: Alyosha Popovich and Ilya Muromets, Solovey-Razboynik (Nightingale the Robber) and Tugarin Zmeevich, and many other epic heroes. And how Baba Yaga seems to be a wisewoman and healer. After all, she not only harmed Ivan Tsarevich, but also soared him in the bathhouse, and gave potions. And the bathhouse, as you know, was the basis of the healing methods of the ancient world, it was widespread in Rus much more than in any other European country, and healers highly appreciated its healing properties. Thus, this we can conclude that traditional medicine is one of the most powerful treatment factors in Rus.

History of medicine is very fascinating. We can find many traditional systems of medicine developed in different regions and served humans for many centuries before the development of modern medicine. The system developed in India is known as Ayurveda and system developed in Japan is known as Kampo. We can find many similarities in the basic concepts between these systems. Apart from use of internal medicines both the systems have used sharp instruments, Fire etc in the management. Treatment like excision, Incision etc using different sharp instruments comes under a separate branch as Shalya tantra in Ayurveda but there is no independent branch for surgery in Kampo system. We can find many similarities in surgical concepts between these two systems. By adopting and combining these concepts we can develop a universal system for alternative medicine.

Circe is associated first of all with the episode narrated in the 10th book of the Odyssey, in which she turns Odysseus’s crewmen into pigs using her herbal pharmaka. Odysseus survives due to divine help, his inborn cleverness, and the miraculous herb moly. The fairy-tale theme of the spells of Circe, clearly showing its folk provenance, got entrenched in ancient literature: featured most often in poems of playful content, Circe symbolized the power to subjugate male souls and bodies. From the Hellenistic era to the Byzantine times, however, Circe is mentioned in scholarly works – in the context of the history of Roman Italy. The aim of the present article is, first of all, to analyse the Greek-language source texts and show the ways in which ancient authors managed to connect a character from a folk fairy tale – intrinsically different in form and not identifiable with any heroic myth – with the prehistory of Roman Italy, and even place her among the ancestors of Rome. The considerations also allow us to identify some of the mechanisms of the creation and functioning of the legend as a cultural phenomenon of the ancient world.

Chapter 3 examines the second half of The Sword Went Out to Sea. This chapter looks at how H.D. combines fairy tale and historical fiction to create the fragmentary vignettes that comprise Part II of the novel. In the second half of Sword, the narrative spins out centrifugally into vignettes that record the history of Britain by focusing on scenes of war and imperialism from the ancient world to the Renaissance. In these vignettes, history is a seemingly endless series of one nation conquering and colonizing another. The unresolvable fracture of narrative form recreates the experience of war, in effect traumatizing her readers. Moreover, by constructing a text of generic hybridity that deconstructs the myriad genres it deploys, she demonstrates the fictionality of nationhood and the impossibility of its representation.
