| | Europe as culture. Epic and the dephts of history (4): An epic hero, Royal Marko |
 | | The epic hero Marko represented as a king in mourning for his father Vulkashin, fresco on the entrance gate of the monastery of the Archangel Michael, Prilep, Macedonia. |
 | | Similarly, Serbian historians have long given an ambiguous image of Marko Kraljevic, either a negative hero, vassal of a Turkish sultan, or a positive hero, a christian knight, brother-in-arms of the Serbian knights sung in the pieces of the Kossovo cycle. |
 | | In the confused events of this period (1371-1395) King Marko appeared assuredly as one of the most significant actors of that great history that took place in those times not only in Prilep and Serres, but in the whole Balkans and fixed their destiny for centuries. |
