Anotace: The paper aims to explore the typology of the category of case in the epics Beowulf, The Book of Dede Korkut, The Song of The Nibelungs and The Tale of Igor's Campaign. It draws certain universal features and their nature based on the contrastive study of all the mentioned epic texts. The contrastive analysis reveals similarities in how various morphological units express the case category in these texts, suggesting that they have a deep root rather than an occasional nature. On the other hand, the results of such typological studies provide essential arguments to researchers in psychology, cultural studies, history, sociology, and other disciplines within this context.

Our research topic is related to studying the typological features of case categories in ancient epics of diverse, unrelated, and geographically dispersed language speakers. In this context, it connects us to the unity of human nature and directs us towards the unity of biological and cognitive organisation.

In ancient epics, identifying typological characteristics by case category means increasing the volume of language universals in this context. In ancient epics, the type of cases, and their development directions, are almost similar.
