This comprehensive scholarly study explores the ethno-cultural foundations of mythological phraseological units in English and Uzbek linguistic cultures. By analyzing the transition of ancient myths into modern idioms, the paper identifies the Greco-Roman and Biblical roots of English phraseology alongside the Islamic, Turkic, and Persian-Tajik influences in the Uzbek language. The research delves into the cognitive mechanisms of "mythological coding," demonstrating how these linguistic units serve as the primary vessels of national-cultural identity and moral philosophy.
