Thao Hung Epic - Dok Champa Jan-Mar 1994 Summary of the plot, and prefaces to various editions of the work. http://www.mekongexpress.com/laos/articles/dc_0394_thaohung.htm
Extractions: Thao Hung Epic by Douang Deuane Bounyavong and Maha Sila Viravong Author's Preface to the 1991 Edition The Thao Hung Epic is one of the masterpieces of Lao literature. There exist various versions, but the most complete and perfectly composed account is the one represented by 300 bundles of palm-leaf inscriptions found by Maha Sila Viravong in the Thai National Library in Bangkok in 1941. Maha Sila had transliterated this version into modern Lao language in 1942, and it was only in 1988 that the Ministry of Culture published the masterpiece in one volume. According to scholarly studies, the Thao Hung Epic was written sometime between the mid-14th to mid-16th centuries by a royal poet of the Lane Xang Dynasty. It was composed with three perfect patterns of Lao verses of 20,000 lines. The subject of this masterpiece is the greatness of a courageous king whose influence was hard upon the Mekong banks and Mekong basins during the period of 10th through 12th centuries. This epic reflected the society of that dynasty in such various aspects as beliefs, traditions and ritualssuch as spirit cults, wedding ceremonies, funerals and costumes, etc.which one can trace in many regions of Laos to this very day. Many centuries have passed, but one could say that the ways of life, tradition and ritual ceremonies about weddings and birth, death and funerals, largely remain as before. Some have been modified by religion, modernization and communication. Yet people still embrace many of the old customs, living productive lives as tillers of the soil as well as hunting, fishing and producing household utensils for themselves. Through history they have participated in wars, sons and husbands often abandoning families for battlefields.
