This study examines the representations of Turkish epics in contemporary media, particularly their reflections in television and cinema, and discusses how these productions contribute to the construction and transmission of Turkish cultural identity. Building on the observation that Western cinema—especially Hollywood—has disseminated mythology and epic narratives globally through film, the study argues that Turkish epics also possess the potential to achieve a similar international impact through strategic cinematographic adaptations. A qualitative methodology was adopted, employing literature review and content analysis to evaluate television series and films produced in Turkey after 1970 that incorporate epic elements. Within this framework, the research focuses on a broad corpus of Turkish epics, including the Altai Creation Epic, Alp Er Tunga Epic, Danishmend Gazi Epic, Book of Dede Korkut, Oghuz Khan Epic, Grey Wolf Epic, Ergenekon Epic, Maaday Kara Epic, Manas Epic, Battal Gazi Epic, Köroğlu Epic, Bozoğlan Epic (Yusuf Beg–Ahmed Beg), Coodarbeşim Epic, and Satuk Bughra Khan Epic. The analysis reveals that only a limited number of these epics have been directly adapted for cinema or television. Consequently, Turkish epics emerge as a powerful yet largely untapped cultural resource within the global domain of cinematic narratives. Their adaptation into film would not only enrich the thematic and aesthetic diversity of Turkish cinema but also serve as a strategic tool for cultural diplomacy, identity formation, and global perception management.
