Nart Sagas: Ancient Myths and Legends of the Circassians and Abkhazians

Epic tales, great introductory notes about the places and times these tales come from. Important.

Excellent interpretation and insightful comparison with other cultures.

great source of circassian and abkhazian sagas!

Love the book!! Can't wait to read it!! It's a good addition to what I am originally reading about the Amazons... It frequently makes reference to the Nart Sagas, so now i can pull up what they are talking about!!

The Nart Sagas contains immaculately researched evidence showing that the ancient myths of our ancestors, who we know as the Scythians, were the source material for a good portion of the Arthurian myths, and this is one of my references for making that case in my latest book Stories in the Stars.Mythologist John Colarusso has brought together the sagas of those who still live today in the Caucacus region, which go back for untold thousands of years, and feature Batraz, the Arthur archetype, with his 12 heroic Narts (knights), magical sword, the Lady of the Lake, the chalice (Holy Grail) and so much more ....This book, among a couple of others, proves my concept for what I'm calling a "primordial carpet" of a holistic, comprehensive system of cosmologically-aligned wisdom teaching stories that, at the end of the last major Ice Age, the migrating Scythians spread into India, Persia, Scandinavia, Greece and the whole of Europe including the British Isles.
