"The Hungarian hunters of old pursued the miraculous stag, not because they expected to kill it, but because it led them on in the joy of the chase to new trails and fresh adventures, and so to capture happiness!" So too will we chase the miraculous deer, the csodaszarvas, to find adventure in Turán. First, it will lead us to the 1933 World Scout Jamboree, where they say the whole nation of Horthy's Hungary turned out to support the Scouts of all nations. There, the image of the stag will look down upon us, while the specter of Prime Minister Pál Teleki looks up. Then we will find ourselves waxing poetic about the beauty, complexity, and diversity of the Hungarian language, looking at the etymology of basic Hungarian family-related vocabulary to learn a little more about the history of the tongue. At last, we return to our dear friend Simon Kézai's Gesta Hunorum et Hungarorum. We will join the brothers Hunor and Magor, the forefathers of the Huns and the Hungarians, as they hunt the white stag. We will explore some of the scholarship into where exactly the Hungarian stag myth came from, or at least the debates about the subject. From the Finno-Ugric creation myths to the epics of steppe literature to the modern traditions related to the legend, we may find ourselves so far from where we began, we might as well set up a home here and never return. Thanks for the wait, this one goes everywhere. Written by Turán Explorer and produced by Boss Moss.
