[edit] Legend
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)
