In her study, “One Tale of One Thousand and One Nights and Georgian Folk Tales”, Dalila Bedianidze examines thematic and narrative parallels between classic international stories and Georgian folklore. Central to the analysis is the motif of the beloved bird’s sacrifice, found in tales such as One Thousand and One Nights’ "Story of King Sindbad," "Kilila and Damana," the 67th Arak "Sovereign and Hawk," the Persian Tutiname, and Georgian folk narratives like "Kvavsakdara" and "Sakdar of the crow". The work explores shared elements across these stories, focusing on character roles, themes, and actions. The study discusses both the similarities and distinctions between these tales.
