The Ebony Horse (in other translations, The Magic Horse or The Enchanted Horse) is a folk tale often associated with the Arabian Nights.A Persian prince is given a mechanical horse by a Hindu craftsman as a present. The prince is delighted at the prospect of the flying machine and climbs it for a test drive. He manipulates the buttons on the horse's neck and flies away from his kingdom.Although the tale was provided to Antoine Galland in the early 18th century by Syrian teller Hanna Diyab, its elements can be traced back to an Indian version contained in the Panchatantra.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Compare it to Danish literary fairy tale The Flying Trunk. | |
