Daredevils of Sassoun, sometimes spelled Sasun (Armenian: Õ�Õ¡Õ½Õ¶Õ¡ Õ®Õ¼Õ¥Ö€; Sasna tsrer) is an Armenian Epic Poem. Many modern printings title it David of Sasun (Armenian: Õ�Õ¡Õ½Õ¸Ö‚Õ¶Ö�Õ« Ô´Õ¡Õ¾Õ«Õ©; Sasuntsi Davit), renaming it after its most popular character.As an oral tale, it dates to the 10th century, and was for centuries rehearsed by village bards. It wasn't put in written form until Garegin Srvantdziantz in 1873, and was published the following year.The story chronicles warriors from Sasun (a historical Armenian province, west of Lake Van) struggling against Egyptian rule in the 8th to 10th centuries. Egypt has never actually conquered Sasun or Armenia, but the poem was composed during a time when Islamic empires were growing in the region. The Egyptians were originally stand-ins for the Arabs, who were known to tax non-Muslims to ridiculous extremes when they ruled Armenia. One reason for the poem's continued popularity through the centuries was it's applicability given Turkish dominance of Western Armenia for most of the last millennium.The work consists of four cycles, correlating to four generations of a family. When told, normally at least one of the four cycles would be left out, but David's — the most popular — almost never was.

Nepharious Pharaoh | |
| Daredevils of Sassoun / int_14a0fca8 | comment |
Nepharious Pharaoh: The Big Bad is Melik, Egyptian king and Evil Overlord. He was probably based in part on the pharaoh from Book of Exodus. Given the fact that Egypt has never actually conquered Armenia, he's also probably a sort of No Celebrities Were Harmed Expy of the Arab caliphs or Turkish sultans. | |

Super-Scream: Big-Voiced Ohan. He's meek and cowardly throughout most of the story, but he has the hidden superpower of a voice loud enough to shatter stone. He does this to free David from Melik's trap. | |
