          <def xml:lang="ru">имя одного из популярнейших героев осетинского (<q rendition="#rend_doublequotes">нартовского</q>) эпоса. Отличался хитростью,
            находчивостью и остроумием, но также злоязычием и склонностью ко всяким козням. Его
            отравленный язык сеял повсюду вражду и раздоры. В сказаниях он часто характеризуется как
              <mentioned xml:lang="os"><phr>Narty fydbylyz</phr>
              <gloss><q rendition="#rend_doublequotes">злой гений Нартов</q></gloss></mentioned>. Он
            враждовал с Сосланом и стал виновником гибели этого прославленного героя. По некоторым
            вариантам (например: <bibl><ref type="bibl" target="#ref_ОТ"/>
              <biblScope>43—50</biblScope></bibl>), он привел к гибели также другого знаменитого
            Нарта, Батраза, подстрекнув его к роковой схватке с небесными силами. Образ Сирдона и
            его роль в гибели Сослана <hi rendition="#rend_smallcaps">Dumézil</hi> сравнивает с
            образом Локи в скандинавской мифологии и с той ролью, которую Локи сыграл в гибели бога
            Балдра (<bibl><author>Dumézil</author>. <title>Loki</title>. <pubPlace>Paris</pubPlace>,
                <biblScope>1948</biblScope></bibl>). Много общего у Сирдона также с героем
            ирландских саг — злокозненным Брикриу</def>
          <def xml:lang="en">the name of one of the most popular heroes of the Ossetian (<q rendition="#rend_doublequotes">Nart</q>) epic. He was exclusively cunning, resourceful
            and ingenious, but also wicked and prone to trickery. His poisoned tongue sowed enmity
            and strife everywhere. He is often described in stories as <mentioned xml:lang="os"><phr>Narty fydbylyz</phr>
              <gloss><q rendition="#rend_doublequotes">Nartsʼ evil genius</q></gloss></mentioned>.
            He was at enmity with Soslan and became the culprit in the death of this illustrious
            hero. In some variants (e.g., <bibl><ref type="bibl" target="#ref_ОТ"/>
              <biblScope>43—50</biblScope></bibl>), he also led to the death of another famous Nart,
            Batraz, inciting him to a fatal battle with the heavenly forces. The image of Sirdon and
            his role in the death of Soslan was compared by <hi rendition="#rend_smallcaps">Dumézil</hi> to the image of Loki in Scandinavian mythology and to the role that Loki
            played in the death of the god Baldr (<bibl><author>Dumézil</author>.
                <title>Loki</title>. <pubPlace>Paris</pubPlace>,
            <biblScope>1948</biblScope></bibl>). Sirdon also has much in common with the hero of the
