Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the principles of selection and the attitude to oral epics which make the foundation of Vojislav M. Đuric’s anthologies of Serbo-Croatian epic and heroic poetry. As dominant, the paper investigates esthetic and ethical measures, the relation between poems and history, as well as poetic features of oral epics. Special attention was dedicated to Đuric’s view on the relation between epic poems and history, and to the influence which this view had on the esthetic, content and ethical measures according to which he formed his anthologies of heroic and epic Serbo-Croatian oral poems.
