Review / Description
This age old Armenian folk epic Davit of Sassoun (David of Sassoun) has been handed down from generation to generation in the oral tradition, recited by successive bards and minstrels, until being written onto paper by scholars of lore in the 19th century.
Nairi Zarian, the renowned 20th century Armenian poet, in 1966 rendered it into simple prose for the enjoyment of children and adults alike.
