Sosruko or Sosriqwe () is a central character in many cycles of the Nart sagas of the Caucasus. Sosruko is a powerful but devious man who is the smallest of the Narts; as a character, he is sometimes cast in the light of the trickster god, comparable to the Scandinavian Loki (who finds a closer parallel in the Nart Syrdon however), Georgian Amirani, or the Ancient Greek Prometheus. It is possible that at least in the latter case, Sosruku served as a direct inspiration. In Circassian mythology, it was Nart Sosriqwe, minion of the gods and his doting mother, Lady Satanaya, who stole fire from the giant. == Etymology == The name etymologically came from Turkic languages: Nogai ''suslan-'' "to look menacing", ''suslä'' "menacing, gloomy" (hence (オセット語:Soslan)). The variants (アブハズ語:Sasərqwa), //, //, Ubykh: Sawsərəqʷa, Digor (オセット語:Sosruqo, Sozyryqo, Sozuruqo). The name Sosruko // is from Circassian "sword" + "hit" + "heat" + "son"; hence literally “The son of the fiery sword hit”. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sosruko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
