Examples

“Ад ве́ршу так і ве́е першабы́тнаю прастатою мі́фу.”

The primordial simplicity of a myth is distinctly emanating from the poem.

“Ня ця́жка заўва́жыць, што гэ́ты і ім падобныя ве́ршы М. Багдановіча ў аснове сваёй прадстаўля́юць мі́фы.”

It isn't difficult to notice that this and the other similar poems by M. Bahdanovič, at their core, represent myths.

“Адна́к глыбокі ана́ліз ная́ўных крыні́цаў дазволіў Андрэ́ю Янушке́вічу разьве́яць даволі да́ўні міф польскай гістарыягра́фіі аб тым, што польскае найма́нае войска адыгра́ла выраша́льную ролю ў вайне́ 1558-1570 гг.”

However an in-depth analysis of the available sources allowed Andrej Januškievič to dispel a rather long-standing myth of the Polish historiography about the Polish mercenary army playing the decisive role in the war of 1558-1570.
