The Story of Kyoruo-ru - The Story of Kyoruo-ru
A masterpiece of Turkish folk literature with the hero Köroğlu as its protagonist. Based on the leader of a peasant revolt in 17th century Anatolia, it was formed by fusing with the ancient tale motif of "The Revenge of the Blind Son (Köroğlu)." It is composed of narration and song, and is passed down by minstrels (ashk) who play the traditional saz instrument, and is a genre known in the history of Turkish literature as "narrative." It has also been widely passed down beyond the Turkish borders, including in Iran and Azerbaijan.
