Maybe we will never know for sure who is a historical person of King Matjaž - the Slovenian greatest national hero, a just and brave king. What the legends do tell us is he sleeps under the mountain of Peca with his men, waiting for his beard to grow. This good and rightful leader will live forever and come save his people in the time of greatest need. What a brilliant symbol of eternal hope.
