Abrskil

Abkhazian epic about the hero and theomachist Abrskil. The hero of the epic is a bearer of good and justice and a fighter for the happiness of the people. According to the legend, he did not worship god; because of this, god ordered the angels to chain him in a cave. Beginning with the 1870’s, several versions of this epic were written down and published in Russian. The best-known transcriptions are those by A. Ioakimov (1873), I. Likhachev (1887), and V. Gartskiia (1892).
