Ogboju Ode ninu Igbo Irunmole

Ògbójú Ọdẹ nínú Igbó Irúnmọlẹ̀ (lit. 'The Brave Hunter in the Forest of 400 Deities') is the first novel written by the Yorùbá author D. O. Fágúnwà. It was published by the Church Missionary Society Bookshop, Lagos in 1938 and is one of the first novels written in Yorùbá. It tells the story of the adventures of the hunter Akara-Ogun. Ògbójú Ọdẹ nínú Igbó Irúnmọlẹ̀ was translated into English by Wole Soyinka in 1968 under the title Forest of a Thousand Daemons: A Hunter's Saga. In his translator's note for the text, Soyinka writes that 'a thousand' in English has "the sound and sense" of the number four hundred in Yoruba.
