The study examines national myths in the work of Alois Jirásek using the example of his collection Staré pověsti české. It seeks an answer to the question of how Jirásek constructs the pattern of national myths and symbols and the resulting Czech national identity and follows the method of construction and the content of the mythical-symbolic complex. The text is methodologically based on the concept of ethno-symbolism, which represents a cultural approach to research of the phenomenon of modern nations and nationalism. It interprets stories about the origin of Czech ethnicity and its civilizational mission in the newly settled territory, about the intermingling of population and space in the creation of ethnography, Jirásek’s distinctly dichotomic conception of ethno-history and the fate of the national community. The end of the paper is devoted to the main features of Jirásek’s conception of national identity based on individual myths.
