Why This Overview?
Indonesia does not have a single unified epic tradition like China’s Journey to the West or Investiture of the Gods . Instead, it has multiple epic traditions rooted in different regions, courts, and performance cultures.

The Major Epic Traditions
1. The Wayang Epic Tradition (Java & Bali)

Karna , Calon Arang Loyalty vs. Justice The oldest conflict: serve the king or serve what’s right? Hang Tuah vs. Hang Jebat Exile and Return The hero leaves, suffers, returns transformed — often on a cyclic timer. Panji , Cindua Mato
