The Book of Dede Korkut - The Book of Dede Korkut
A heroic epic poem of the steppe told by Dede Korkut, a fictional bard of the Turkish nomadic Oghuz tribe. Based on ancient Oghuz folklore, it was completed in its current form around the 15th century. It consists of 12 stories set in the nomadic world from Central Asia through the Caucasus to Anatolia, and is written in prose with poems and proverbs interspersed throughout. It also incorporates elements of stories from other ethnic groups who came into contact with the Oghuz, such as the story of the one-eyed giant Cyclops from the Odyssey.
