Summary/Abstract: Żywiecczyzna (The Żywiec region of the Beskids) and its highland robbers had everything it takes to create a literary character worth a myth. The aim of the article is to put forward few research hypotheses on why it was Janosik of Slovakia rather than one of the brigands of the Żywiec region who became an unequivocal symbol of brigandry. The research is based mainly on folk songs of the region as well as on the repertoire of Emil Zegadłowicz Literary Group “Gronie”.
