Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Folk epics, as oral traditions passed down through generations, are crucial to the formation of national literatures. These epics, often embodying the collective memory, values, and struggles of a people, serve as foundational texts for national identities. They preserve a community's cultural heritage, shape societal norms, and offer insight into the shared historical consciousness of a nation. Through the analysis of prominent folk epics from different cultures, this article explores their impact on the emergence and development of national literatures. It highlights how these epics serve not only as historical accounts but as symbols of national unity, pride, and identity.
