- The epic of Son-Jara functions for the Manding
as a significant cultural reference, a repository of values
for the society that is equivalent to the Iliad,

in volume A), in ancient Greece and the Ramayana,
covered in "India's Heroic Age" (see
pages 890–953 in volume A), in India.

aspects of the oral tradition into Western forms of narrative,
as in The Bone and Mother Crocodile by
Birago Diop and The Mirror of Dearth, The Black
Cloth, and The Hunter and the Boa by Bernard
Dadié, all of which are covered in "The Modern
World: Self and Other in Global Context" (see
pages 2487–2501 and 2607–2621 in volume F).
