THE GENDER PROBLEM IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EPIC “KOROGLU”
Abstract
A woman is the most beautiful work created by God. The Creator estimated her with the honor of being the highest title – mother. The word “woman” means motherland, land, peace, freedom, tranquility, love. Many glorious and bright pages of our history and culture have been connected with the name of a woman.
Studying the history of any nation, along with history books, historical monuments, historical sources, one should refer to folklore – folk literature. Because an epic is a history created by the people themselves. It is an Ergenekon memory, it is an exit from darkness to light, from narrow to wide, it is salvation. The epic “Koroglu” is a living past of the people on the scale of idealization of heroism and it is a monument of immortal art.
