Description

In Ottoman-Islamic mythology, Zül-Karneyn (Alexander the Great) is guided by Hızır (Khidr) and Ilyas (Elijah) in response to his prayer. At the edge of the Sea of Darkness (Zulmet), the three embark on a perilous journey to find the Ab-ı Hayat—the Water of Life—believed to grant immortality. The scene is brought to life with serpents, fish, flames, and other symbols of the mysterious forces they face during their quest. Alexander’s presence in this tale reflects a fascinating synthesis of ancient Greek legend and Ottoman-Islamic tradition. In this narrative, he is not just a conqueror but a seeker of eternal wisdom, his story blending historical and mythical elements in a rich cultural tapestry.
