The Armenians, an ancient people of the Near East, have a rich oral literature: this epic from the high mountains south of Van, here studied and translated for the first time, recounts the resistance of the brave villagers of Kasht to the medieval Central Asian invader, Tamerlane. The poem is replete with myth and legendry; a magic Milky Spring, wonder-working saints, and petrified dragons. There are also humorous incidents that display the crazy, wily wisdom of the Armenian peasants and warriors.
