I have an earlier Colarusso book "Nart Sagas from the Caucasus" so I will check that one out. The one I have covers Circassian, Turkic and Ossetian tales but you can detect an earlier Sarmatian & Alan influence in a lot of them & you can see the similarities with a lot of ancient Greek myths in them probably due to early contact with the Greek city states on the Black Sea. You get a good feel how important weapons, armour, raids & horses were to the Sarmatians/Alans.
