This article studies cultural and cognitive aspects of ‗good and evil‘ mythologems in heroic epics. The mythologeme ―good and evil‖ is one of the fundamental concepts frequently found in heroic songs and is an important component of educating students' cognitive and cultural abilities. Heroic epics are critical to preserving mythological consciousness and individual identities. Their application of binary opposition has remained unchanged, despite the changes related to, for example, time/era and living conditions. This study explores, compares, and contrasts the contexts and meanings embedded in Kazakh heroic epics (Alpamys”, ―Kobylandy”) with the poem ―Odysseus”. The article uses a multi-method qualitative approach, including comparative phraseological analysis (semantic and component aspects), cognitive analysis (methods and conceptual categories). In addition, a survey was conducted among 52 students of Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University using the Google forms platform to study their perception of mythologemes in heroic poems. As a result, binary oppositions and mythological content of the characters were identified, and the students‘ attitudes towards the poem were analyzed. The characters‘ cognitive and cultural aspects in the heroic epic were categorized into conceptual, image-figurative, and symbolic components. Theoretical and practical implications are also outlined.
