# Pyhän Julianuksen legenda

By Gustave Flaubert.

"Pyhän Julianuksen legenda" by Gustave Flaubert is a short story published in 1877 as part of Three Tales. It follows Julian, whose greatness is prophesied at birth—his father told he'll marry into imperial family, his mother that he'll become a saint. After massacring a valley of deer, Julian receives a terrible curse: he will kill his own parents. Fleeing his fate like Oedipus, he builds an army and marries rich, but the prophecy pursues him relentlessly, leading to tragedy and ultimately redemption.
