The "Hungarian National Epic" refers to the collective body of literature and folklore that embodies the history, culture, and identity of the Hungarian people. It is most famously represented by the Kézai Simon's Chronicle, which chronicles the early history of Hungary and its legendary figures, such as Árpád and Szent István. This epic tradition includes various forms of storytelling, including myths, legends, and ballads, that celebrate the struggles and triumphs of the Hungarian nation. These narratives often highlight themes of bravery, resilience, and the connection to the land, serving as a source of national pride and cultural heritage for Hungarians.
