Về thăm ông Phù Đổng Thiên Vương

Thánh Gióng, also known as Phù Đổng Thiên Vương (扶董天王) and Xung Thiên Thần Vương (冲天神王), is a mythical folk hero of Vietnam's history. Little holy Gióng grows in size to be a giant hero on a flying magic horse leading Vietnam to victory against invaders.^[1]
The folk hero was a popular subject for nationalist poets, such as Cao Bá Quát who wrote an epic poem to Thánh Gióng in the 19th Century.^[2] Today Thánh Gióng features with other legendary figures such as Kinh Dương Vương, Âu Cơ, Sơn Tinh and Thủy Tinh, in elementary school texts.^[3]
