Let us consider the chronicle of Anonymus (12th century), in which he tells how unseemly it would be to hear the origins and heroic history of the Magyars only from the false stories of the peasants and the prattling songs of the minstrels.To get this achievement you must unlock all 8 tokens of the Shadow Agent quest chain. We hardly need to waste many words on refuting such theories, since even the negative arguments testify that the practice of epic minstrelsy was constant and powerfully alive among the Hungarian people. Others proclaimed that only a highly cultivated aristocratic class is able to create epic poetry, and listed the epos-creating and preserving talent of the Hungarian people as the fantasy of folklorists. Soviet researchers, although duly separating literary and folk ballads and exploring the connections between the two types, do not attempt an unequivocal definition in regard either to the ballad or to the bilinas, but they consider it their task to draw the definite social and historical permit them to “demean” themselves by becoming entertainers. All this explains the uncertainties of theoretical definitions and of generalising formulae. Still there are great differences among them, or, more precisely, they incorporated other genres, until in the end the amalgamation of genres, the separate national development of the ballad, produced different forms everywhere. It is the centre from which the variations have unfolded some kind of an ancient mode of performing, some epic that was combined with dance, the effect of the Christian Middle Ages, or is it the effect of geographic regions? The Italian ballata (dance song), the Celtic gwaelawd (epic song), the Russian bilina, the Ukrainian dumi, the South Slav narodne pesme, junačke pesme, the Spanish románce, the Danish, Norwegian folkeviser, the Hungarian ballada are the same genre they fulfil the same function, that of the short epic song, often dramatic in character. Furthermore, it was also hard to find the root of this “something common”. These are works of art that, although containing many differences, still contain something common in spite of national, historical and artistic differences. It is understandable that those theoretical attempts which did not apply to historical-social perspectives were faced with almost insurmountable difficulties: mythicizing attempts, aesthetic formulae, geographical or nationalistic theories were not suited to condensing into a single formula the creations of many eras and social forms, which had been related to each other and had been drawn under a single collective noun.
