episode, close to fiction, is reminiscent of the story of the seven sleepers reported by both
Christian and Muslim tradition. This article sets out to account for the two versions of the story
and the references they deal with in common. It also sets itself the objective of exploring the
symbolic charges with which this myth could be invested today.
