Akbuzat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Akbuzat (Bashkir: Аҡбуҙат, romanized: Aqbuźat, from аҡбуҙ "blue-grey" and ат "horse") is the most famous kubair (epic poem) of the Bashkirs. It shows similarity to other epics (notably the story of Pegasus). The epic is also associated with the ice era ancient myth that involved the Shulgan-Tash Cave.[1] It is part of the cycle of heroic legends involving the Ural-batyr and his descendants.[2]
