Abstract

The article provides a comparative analysis of 24 chapters of the Russian Chronograph of 1617 and the “stories” from the Swedish book Centuria Historiarum (Stockholm, 1646) addressing to the events of the Trojan War. The reasons for the absence of plots about Medea’s revenge, the Trojan horse, and the Palladium abduction in the Russian text are named and explained, which are separated into separate “stories” in the Swedish book, and significantly abridged in the Chronicle of Martin Belsky – the source of the specified chapter of the Chronograph.
