Toldi is a Hungarian Epic Poem written by János Arany, published in 1846, retelling the story of Folk Hero Miklós Toldi. Arany wrote the poem for a writing contest about Hungarian Folk Heroes, which he not only won, but became one of the most celebrated Hungarian writers of his time.The poem is divided into 12 "songs", and tells the story of Miklós, a young man with Super Strength who yearns to be a knight, but becomes an outcast thanks to his scheming older brother. On his journey he fights beasts and men, until he reaches the city of Buda and saves it from an evil Czech knight, for which the King of Hungary pardons him.Shortly after the poem's success, Arany started working on a sequel titled Toldi estéje ("The Night of Toldi"), in which Toldi, as an elderly knight, goes on one last adventure. The sequel was completed in 1848, but because of the political situation in Hungary (the 1848 Revolution), it got published only six years later, in 1854. Much later, in 1879, Arany wrote a third poem featuring Toldi, Toldi szerelme ("Toldi's Love"), which, as you may have guessed from the title, is a love story between Toldi and a woman named Rozgonyi Piroska, taking place after the first but before the second poem.The poems have loosely been adapted to the animated film Heroic Times by Pannonia Film Studio in 1984. A later Animated Adaptation of the first poem was released in 2021, the last work completed by legendary Pannonia animator Marcell Jankovics before his passing.

comment
Miles Gloriosus: The Czech knight is a braggart who taunts and mocks the Hungarian knights and boasts to be the mightiest warrior around, but a simple firm handshake (well, a strong enough handshake to make the knight's hand bleed) from Toldi is enough to make him surrender. He then tries to backstab Toldi right after the duel ended.

Dirty Coward: The Czech warrior taunts and mocks the Hungarian knights, but when he feels how strong Toldi is (from a simple handshake), he falls on his knees and begs for mercy without any actual fight, and then tries to stab Toldi in the back.

Sibling Rivalry: György, Miklós's older brother, is mean to him simply because he's jealous at his strength, and does everything he can to make Miklós's life difficult.

Savage Wolves: Toldi encounters and slays a pair of them in Song 5 (the Hungarian term "nádi farkas", i.e. "reed wolf" actually refers to the golden jackal, but they are described as large and savage as grey wolves).

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: The Italian knight in Toldi estéje is one for the Czech knight in Toldi. Both of them are foreign warriors who ride to Buda and challenge the Hungarian knights for a fight, slaying many of them until they're defeated by Toldi. That said, the Italian knight is far more honorable and not the Dirty Coward the Czech knight is.
