We got the Christian remake. Not as good as the original but still nice.

Probably Moby Dick. Also, Portugal has Os Lusíadas, which is pretty good for a country that gets mocked here a lot.

Our popular myth says that there are some supernatural czech knights inside mount Blanik (pic related) and that they will come out and save the nations when Czechia is at its worst. I guess its supposed to make us feel better but its actually quite unsettling because lot of bad happened to us in the last century and they didnt come so we will be fucked even more before the knights come out

Sound like some Dark Souls shit

That's a really common myth, like every other country has an analogue.

Too many myths and epics to count probably

I haven't read it but allegedly it won recognition abroad when it came out.
The only Bulgarian book I read and liked was a short collection of (german) folk stories with a dirty modern spin on them.
I'm not even sure if the author is Bulgarian, I just assume.

Is this about classic literature? It's not an epic story, but prophecy. Here's the translation in English artshangkala.wordpress.com
For the novel, I think it's either Ramayana (which is a remake from Indian story) or Wirosableng (written in 20th century).

More like some country specific myths, but only those that are so well known they made it into literature

We have "Growth of the soil" by Hamsun and "Peer Gynt" by Ibsen.

The Matter of France, a corpus of stories about Charlemagne and his assorted knights. It includes Roland's song.
It used to have similar renoun to the Matter of Britain, but unlike it, the Arthurian legend became the subject of newfound interest starting from the 19th century.

I abhor Divine comedy for its disgusting influence on precession of common folk on Christianity and afterlife.

We have tons of stuff. The earliest most notable one would be Dziady II by Adam Mickiewicz, treating about the annual custom of the night of Dziady where a priest summons restless ghosts from the purgatory that can't go to heaven (yet, or at all) and the gathered people try to help them.
Then we have Stanisław Wyspiański, who wrote Wesele (The Wedding) where a ton of historical and legendary characters make appearances as spirits to make points about matter of political nature (Stańczyk the philosopher jester, Zawisza Czarny the knight, Wernyhora the legendary cossack).
Then we have Henryk Sienkiewicz, who wrote strictly historical novels without many supernatural elements, such as Quo Vadis, The Trilogy (With Fire and Sword, The Deluge, Fire in the Steppe) and The Knights of the Cross.
Then, finally, we have modern stuff based on Polish folklore - The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski.
We have the exact same myth but our knights are said to be somewhere in the Tatra Mountains instead.
