Eaters of the dead

Im reading this book called, Eaters of the dead. This is an interesting book because it sounds like Greek mythology. In the book it says, "The ruler of the Oguz Turks is called kudarkin". When I was reading this quote, the first thing I thought about was Greek mythology because people always say the ruler of this is called this. Another quote I found was, "None of the muhammadans can enter Turkish country until one of the Oguz agrees to become his host". This quote also seemed like it was Greek because in Greek stories they would always say like an aquriment in order to do something. Overall this book is cool.
