          близнецах Ахсаре и Ахсартаге и о Ромуле и Реме — два варианта одного и того же
          тотемического в генезисе мифа. В прототипе мифа речь шла о происхождении племени от волка
          (тотемизм в первоначальном, <q rendition="#rend_doublequotes">чистом </q> виде). В
          дальнейшем имела место рационализация мифа в двух направлениях. В осетинском
          родоначальник-волк превратился в человека по имени <q rendition="#rend_doublequotes">Волк</q>. На римской почве близнецы родились от человеческой пары, но вскормлены
          волчицей. Тотемический культ волка также подвергся преобразованию в культ бога огня и

          legends about the twins Æxsær and Akhsærtæg and about Romulus and Remus are two variants
          of the same, totemic in its genesis, myth. In the prototype of the myth it was about the
          origin of the tribe from a wolf (totemism in its original, <q rendition="#rend_doublequotes">pure</q> form). Further the rationalization of the myth
          in two directions took place. In Ossetic, wolf the forefather turned into the man named <q rendition="#rend_doublequotes">Wolf</q>. On the roman basis, the twins were born from
          the human pair, but were nurtured by the she-wolf. The totemic cult of wolf also was
          transformed into the cult of the god of fire and blacksmithing: Ossetic <ref type="xr" target="#entry_Wærgon"/>, <mentioned xml:lang="la"><lang/>
