Summary/Abstract: Abstract: The text examines the first two stories of Bogomilski legendi (Bogomil legends) through the theme of fratricide. The paper combines Freud's theory of duality with Jung's archetypes to build a psychoanalytic matrix for analyzing Raynov's artistic figures. The study traces: the connection of the texts with literary-philosophical individualism, their discursive layers, their dense artistry in the messages and edits of the book to bring them out of the shadow of religious conditioning. The analysis pairs the dualistic figures of Savaot and Satanail using the figure of the Father, in order to bring to the fore Cain as a central figure and said figure’s connection with Nietzsche’s theory of the Superman.
