David of Sassoun is the main hero of Armenia's national epic Daredevils of Sassoun, who drove Arab invaders out of Armenia.
“David of Sassoun” is the Armenian national folk epic representing the ethos of the Armenian people in their age-old struggle for freedom from invasion and oppression. The epic portrays the Armenian heroes as the defenders against all foreign efforts to subjugate their people. The epic’s center is Sassoun, a sacred place that represents not only the home of the heroes but also Armenia itself.
The one-thousand-year history of David of Sassoun (9th-19th c.) spans extraordinary events in Armenian history. Filled with brave heroes who overcome many challenges, the epic came to represent an authentic Armenian world-view that anchored the Armenians to a place and encapsulated their identity as a people constantly defending their beliefs and homeland. The heroes represent the highest values of the Armenian people as they are always willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their way of life. They are also flawed individuals, however, and when they break an oath, they are punished for their mistake.
