Antar, Antarah Ibn Shaddad al-'Absi, was a sixth century Arabian warrior whose life has been recorded in his poetry. A romantic; a man of courage and chivalry; a slave and a hero; skilled with weapons, horses and the language of poetry, this work Antar, attempts to capture and express some of the qualities of this 'Warrior Poet'.
