This article examines the interpretation of social justice and moral norms in folk epics from a socio-humanitarian perspective. Folk epics, as a significant part of oral literature, reflect the ethical values, social structures, and collective worldview of traditional societies. The study analyzes how concepts of justice, fairness, honor, loyalty, and moral responsibility are represented through epic heroes and narrative events. Special attention is given to the role of folk epics in shaping social consciousness and transmitting moral principles across generations. The research also explores the relevance of these ethical values in understanding contemporary social and cultural issues. The findings highlight that folk epics serve not only as literary heritage but also as an important source of moral education and social ethics.
