Hello, welcome to Bilig Academia, I'm Emrecan. In this video, we continue with the content about "deer", which is the second video of our mythology series. If you want to watch the previous "cat" themed mythology video, you can access it from the cards at the end of the video or from the "Mythology" playlist on the channel.

As it is known, animal motifs are frequently used in the mythology of many peoples. Deer motifs are also frequently encountered in the myths of the peoples mentioned in detail below. As a matter of fact, the myths about "deer" of all the peoples that can be reached in this video have been brought together and tried to be conveyed in a comparative way. In fact, the entire video revolves around the following keywords, mostly gods and goddesses: In Greek mythology, Artemis, Apollo, Agamemnon, Iphigeneia and Kyparissos; In Turkish mythology, kams (shamans), elements of earth and sky, totem, Scythian-Turkish horses with deer masks, Gokturks' myth of mermaid and white deer; unicorn named Ch'i-Lin in Chinese mythology; In Indian mythology, the Rishyasringa in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata; Pwyll and Gilfaethwy in Celtic mythology; "Deerskin Dance" of the Native Americans.
