Legend[edit]

Another legend says during the great migration out of Central Asia, Turkish people traveling westward divided into two groups when they reached the Caspean Sea. The group that took the Northern route soon encountered treacherous mountains that looked impossible to take. A female wolf, Asena, appeared out of nowhere, led them safely through straits. After delivering everyone to the other side, she disappeared before she could be thanked. This is rather reminiscent of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, who is a strong, mysterious female figure that comes in at the worst of the war, gives tactics and disappears. Athena and Asena, therefore, are analogous figures in Turkish and Greek mythologies. It's interesting to note that Turkish language does not have the "th" sound. --69.143.17.75 11:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Asena isn't the name of female wolf but the name of one of the her ten sons. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 12:34, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

@Takabeg According to some Turkish tribes, the place of asena may change 24.133.192.183 (talk) 10:59, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese sources[edit]

The references to Chinese sources were deleted because they linked to English Wikipedia articles and Chinese language sources hosted on Wikisource. I restored the references. I mistakenly wrote in my edit summary that the sources were offline. In fact the references include links to the sources on Wikisource, so they're not offline. They're still good sources; the alternative is to omit the online source and simply say you can find these in offline books. It's useful to have the Wikisource links - these are well researched notes and shouldn't be deleted.46.64.16.43 (talk) 07:33, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
