Abstract. The article is devoted to the problem of differences in describing the saints in the early and late versions of their hagiographies. In the article the historical-literary reasons of these differences are revealed by the material of John Chrysostom’s hagiography that is little-known in the Russian literary criticism. The research showed that the records of early hagiography saved the saint’s historical image but in later works the saint isn’t a historical character, he becomes a literary hero thanks to using legendary plots.
