Byron published "The Giaour" and "The Bride of Abydos". This version shows the Giaour and Hassan, both on horseback, fighting in a gorge. His first major poem, "Tamerlane", particularly emulates both the manner and style of "The Giaour". In tax registries, Christians were recorded as "infidels" (see "giaour"). Once this is finished, the Giaour makes the portal disappear. In tax registries, the Orthodox Christians were recorded as "infidels" (see "giaour"). When Vathek confronts him, the Giaour only laughs, so Vathek gets angry and kicks him. George Gordon, Lord Byron cited "Vathek" as a source for his poem, "The Giaour". The Giaour cures his thirst with a potion and the two men return to Samarah. In revenge, the giaour kills Hassan and then enters a monastery due to his remorse. "The Giaour" proved to be very popular with several editions published in the first year. "The Giaour" is also notable for its inclusion of the theme of vampires and vampirism.
