Abstract :In the article the attitude of folklore to historical reality is involved in the analysis in the context of epic thought. In the context of existing scientific-theoretical approaches about the problem the issue is brought to the center of the attention, it is mentioned that historicity in folklore is not at the level of simple description. It is determined that historicity in folklore is an integral part of archetypal thinking and should be understood in the context of the traditional attitude of collective activity. Therefore, the approach to the events or images described in folklore in the context of simple historicism does not justify itself. The importance of the approach to historicism in the context of more archetypal thoughts and meanings is put forward in order to reveal the essence of the issues. In the article along with the heroic epics such as "The Book of Dede Gorgud”, "Koroglu”, love eposes are involved in the study and various aspects of folklore and history relations are identified.
