One of the oldest epics in Tibetan literature is the story of Gesar of Ling which was being orally recited long before Tibet became a Buddhist country in the Seventh Century CE.

This legend is very long and used to be recited from memory by Tibetan story tellers  much like the Odessy was recited word of mouth in Greece in the same way.

Gesar was a king who fought battles and therefore usually is depicted with a sword and carrying a spear.
