Summary/Abstract: In the dramatic poem The star of the Aurochs the myth (legend) intertwines with history, though the mythical aspects remain in the background. The writer captures a pivotal moment of history when the Moldavians take their fate into their own arms, releasing themselves from foreign ownership, while the aurochs as a symbol of freedom travels from legend to becoming part of the national flag.
