Ural-batyr
''Ural-batyr'' or ''Ural-batır'' ((バシキール語:Урал батыр), pronounced (:uˈrɑɫ.bɑˌtɯ̞r), from Ural + Turkic ''batır'' - "hero, brave man") is the most famous ''kubair'' (epic poem) of the Bashkirs which – like many similar epics (the Anglo-Saxon ''Beowulf'', the Germanic ''Nibelungenlied'', the Mesopotamian ''Gilgamesh'', or the Finnish/Karelian ''Kalevala'') – tells of heroic deeds and legendary creatures, the formation of natural phenomena, and so on. The epic poem propagates the idea of the nation's eternal life and the ability of man to vanquish evil.
== Plot ==
Based on the Turkic, Iranian and, to some extent, Semitic folk song traditions, the poem narrates about the heroic deeds of Ural-batyr. Ural is born to an elderly couple, Yanbike and Yanbirðe.〔Türk Söylence Sözlüğü (Turkish Mythological Dictionary), Deniz Karakurt, (OTRS: CC BY-SA 3.0)〕 Yan (from Persian word جان jan, meaning "soul"), and Yanbirðe means "Given Soul", while Yanbike means "Woman of Soul" . Ural evinces from his very infancy all the features of a legendary hero, such as unflinching courage, honesty, kindheartedness, empathy, and great physical strength. Unlike his cunning and treacherous brother Shulgan (see (Sulgan-tash )), Ural is an eager enemy of the evil and of Death which personifies it. Having matured, Ural sets out on the quest for Death, with the desire to find and destroy Him. On his way, he meets with various people and legendary creatures and is often deferred by long adventures; in all cases, his actions serve to save lives or quell the evil. Riding his winged stallion Akbuthat (or Akbuz At; ''White-Grey Horse''),〔(Kafkas Nart Destanlarında At Motifi, Ufuk Tavkul )〕 he saves young men and women prepared for sacrifice by the tyrannical Shah Katil from imminent death, tames a wild bull, destroys an immense number of ''devs'', marries the legendary Humai (from Persian همای Humay), a swan-maid, and finally smites the chief ''dev' (from Persian دیو div) Azraka, whose dead body is said to have formed Mount Yaman-tau in the South Urals. Ural-batyr perishes in his final grapple with the ''devs'', as he is forced to drink up a whole lake where they had hidden from him, but he leaves his sons to continue his initiative.
