*''Japanese'': 平家物語 ''(Heike monogatari)''
The ''Tale of the Heike'', or ''Heike monogatari'', is among the most famous of the ''[[gunki monogatari]]'' epic "war tales." Developed out of oral traditions, and in particular the storytelling tradition of the traveling ''[[biwa hoshi|biwa hôshi]]'', the ''Tale'' relates a dramatized, fictionalized, account of the fall of the [[Taira clan]] in the late 12th century, with much of the text describing the events of the [[Genpei War]].
