"The Two Kings and the Two Labyrinths" (original Spanish title: "Una Leyenda Arábiga [Historia de los dos Reyes y los dos Laberintos, como Nota de Burton"]) is a short story by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, first published in June 1939. It was later included in El Aleph under the title "Los dos reyes y los dos laberintos". It deals with a number of Borgesian themes: labyrinths, supposed obscure folk tales, Arabia, and Islam.[1] The story is itself referenced in-universe by characters of Borges' "Ibn Hakkan Al-Bokhari - Dead In His Labyrinth", also found in The Aleph.
