The Chinese Sources of the "Koroghlu" Epos

By Jalil Gariboghlu

This monograph provides clarification around some of the disputable interpretations connected to the "Koroghlu" Epos. Some twenty different nations of the world have varying accounts concerning the history of creation and the national identities relating to the topic and motives of the Epos as well as the ethnic origin and ideal-topical specification of the heroes of that Epos. The author in this monograph adds his own hypothesis regarding a Chinese connection between the characters and motives of Turkic origin in the "Koroghlu" Epos. "...although an epos is not history, it is a form of artistic creation definitely expressing historical events." Jalil Gariboghlu
