Hacivat used to rescue Karagöz from the troubles he got into, and this always caused an argument between them.

After a while, these bickerings became so funny that other workers stopped working to watch them. Of course, this caused the construction to slow down and the work to be delayed. As a result, the sultan, who was angry with the delay of the construction, had them executed. The people were very upset about this situation and in order to remember them all the time they started shadow play puppetry to eternise these two heroes. Although they are not originally from Bursa, they are an indispensible part of the city culture. We are all grateful to them who caused such an old tradition to reach the world of digital era.

Yiğitlere Serdar Olan Aksaray'lı Genç Osman ''Bağdat'ın kapısın Genç Osman açtı, Gören kâfirlerin tebdili şaştı. Kelle koltuğunda üç gün savaştı, Şehitlere serdar oldu Genç Osman.'' böyle diyor, Âşık Kul Mustafa. Genç Osman'la birlikte savaşa girmiş onu oğlu gibi bağrına basmış, onun kılıç hocalığını yapmış yiğit Kul Mustafa.

Yıl 1621, Aksaray'ın Dorikini Köyü'nde bir yiğit doğar. Adını Osman koyarlar. Daha on yaşına girmeden babasını kaybeder ve onu dul anası büyütür. Aksaray'lı güreşi sever, Osman da akranları ile güreş tutar, ok atar, kılıç sallar, mermere yumruk atar, atar ki, çivi gibi genç olup çıkar. Akranları onunla güreşmekten çekinmektedirler artık. Yıl 1638, kendi gibi yiğit olan padişah 4. Murat Han, Orduyu Hümayunla Aksaray'a gelir ve Cuma namazını kendisi kıldırır. Aksaraylılara ilan eder ki Orduyu Hümayuna katılmak isteyenler varsa gelsin yazılsın! Gençler çığ gibi orduya katılmaktadır. 4. Murat Han bu manzaraya çok sevinir ve Aksaraylılara teşekkür eder.

Bu arada, Genç Osman da orduya yazılmak için müracaat eder, fakat yaşının küçüklüğü dolayısıyla orduya alınmaz. Kısa zamanda toplanan ordu Bağdat'a doğru yol alır. Genç Osman gizlice orduya karışır. Bağdat'a yaklaşıldığı sırada padişah orduyu denetlemek ister, bakar ki; bıyıkları terlememiş bir genç de orduda bulunmaktadır.
-Niçin katıldın orduya, bıyıkların bile yok. Bizde bıyıklarında tarak durmayan kişi orduya alınmaz, duydun mu? -Pekiyi, öyleyse niçin katıldın orduya, git! Ananın koynuna çocuk.
İşte bu lafa alınmıştı Aksaraylı Genç Osman. Padişaha dönerek;
-Tarağınızı verir misiniz?
Padişah kızgınlıkla, tarağını verdi. Osman tarağı aldı iki eliyle dudağının üzerine bastırdı. Kan yürümüştü ve padişaha dönerek;

-İşte benim bıyığımda da tarak duruyor. Şimdi orduya girebilirmiyim dedi.

4. Murat o sert denen kişi oturdu hüngür hüngür ağladı ve Osman'a dedi ki:
-Senin adın Genç Osman olacak ve seni öncü gazilere Serdar eyledim. Var git lalaya ismini yazdır ve tarağı da bana ver, ömrüm boyu saklayacağım. Haydi gazan geçmiş olsun benim yiğit oğlum.
Bir hafta sonra, bir Cuma sabahı, Genç Osman öncülerin başında şimşek gibi kılıç kollamakta idi ve Bağdat Kalesine süzüldü. Ha bire koman yiğitlerim. Yiğitler vurdukça kırar, kırdıkça kırar düşmanı. Bağdat kapıları dayanamaz bunca savaşa. Açar kapıları Türk Ordusuna. Genç Osman, Sancağı Şerifi kaptığı gibi Bağdat Kalesi'nin en ince noktasına diker. Diker ki beş altı ok yer ve olduğu yere yığılır kalır, kelime-i şahadet getirir ve olduğu yerde can verir.

Kayıkçı Kul Mustafa koşarak gelir ki ne görsün, Genç Osman'ın hain düşman tarafından parçalanmış körpe başını görürler. Oturur, Kayıkçı Kul Mustafa; Meşhur Genç Osman destanını yazar. Murat Han, Genç Osman'ın öldüğünü duyunca üzülür ve tarihe geçecek sözü söyler, "Keşke Bağdat gibi kaleyi fethetmeseydim de Genç Osman'ım ölmeseydi".

Böyle bir yiğit Aksaray'da doğmuş, Bağdat'ta şehit olmuş, o nedenle; Destan türküsü de Aksaray'da yaşamıştır. 700 yıl sonra TRT'ye Aksaraylı birisinin vermesi elbette doğrudur. Türkünün sözleri şöyledir:
"İptida (evvela) Bağdad'a sefer olanda Atladı hendeği geçti geçti Genç Osman Vuruldu sancaktar kaptı sancağı İletti bedene dikti Genç Osman Eğerleyin kıratımın ikisin Fethedeyim düşmanların hepisin Sabah namazında Bağdat Kapısın Allah Allah deyip açtı Genç Osman Sultan Murat eydür gelsin göreyim Nasıl yiğitmiş ben de bileyim Vezirlik isterse üç tuğ vereyim Kılıcından al kan saçtı Genç Osman Kul Mustafa karakolda gezerken Gülle kurşun yağmur gibi yağarken Yıkılası Bağdat seni döğerken Şehitlere serdar oldu Genç Osman"

Every month there were two feast-days for Antiochus: his birthday, which was celebrated on the 16th of each month, and his coronation, which was celebrated on the 10th of each month. During the feasts, grudging attitudes were forbidden and Antiochus decreed that the people should enjoy themselves, eat and drink wine, and listen to the sacred music performed by the temple musicians.

The reliefs portrayed Greco-Iranian deities, along with the goddess Commagene and also even Antiochus himself represented in a deified status. Antiochus was one of the last rulers of a Persian-Macedonian court before the advent of the Romans.
