Abstract: Mythoephic the space-time continuum is arranged differently than the profane time and space, and subject to its laws and regulations. Inanimate objects in it lives like animate and have their will, character and other qualities that are more typical to people than to things. The same things in the myth, epic and fairy tale are primarily figurative and metaphorical meaning. So the hair of the epic heroes is the receptacle of vitality and glory, salt holds the oath and make it indestructible, and food can do some epic creatures weak and vulnerable.

Keywords: mithoepic, third and fourth generation of heroes, food of the heroes, salt, hair, Honor and Glory
