Packet 8: Bonus 2

Saglar Bougdaeva’s first English translation of this epic calls it the “Heroic Epic of the Kalmyk Nomads,” though it’s also known in oral versions told by Oirats in Mongolia. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this epic whose title hero wrestles Mengen Xigxirge (“shig-shir-guh”) for several days and is shot with a poison arrow by the future-seeing Altan Gheej (“ALT-in gayj”).
ANSWER: Epic of Jangar [or Jangar Epic]
[10m] In the epic, a character of this type named Aranjagaan saves Jangar after he is shot. A particularly strong one of these characters named Rakhsh is the constant companion of Rostam in the Shahnameh.
ANSWER: horse [or steed or mount]
[10e] Jangarchi oral poets use this poetic device on the initial sounds of each line of the epic. This device, which is used in Anglo-Saxon poetry instead of rhyme, is heard in the initial sounds of the lines: “Sovereign Khan Jangar / Striking with his looks.”
ANSWER: alliteration [accept consonance]
