Persian mythology developed in what is now Iran after about 1500B.C. About a thousand years later, a religion known as Zoroastrianism emerged in the region. It held on to many of the earlier beliefs but added new themes, deities, and myths. The result was a mythology based on a dualistic vision: a cosmic conflict between good and evil. The stories which form the basis of Persian mythology come from early Persian religious belief. One refers to these - and similar stories from any culture - as "mythology" in the present day only because the theological paradigm has changed and a universe of many gods, spirits, angels, and demons has been replaced either by the monotheistic or atheistic model. In their time, however, they would have served the same basic purpose as the scripture of any religion does in modern times: to teach important spiritual and cultural values and assure people of order and meaning in the face of an often chaotic and frightening world. In this book of captivating myths from the rich culture of ancient Persia, you will encounter: The struggle between the good creator, Ahura Mazda, and the evil destroyer, Angra Mainyu The story of Ahura Mazda's creation of the world and the Blessed Immortals who guard it and keep it in existence How Yima the good shepherd enlarged the world to make room for all its creatures and then saved it from an apocalyptic winter The victory of the prophet Zarathustra over the demons sent to kill him The story of Kuyamars, the very first Persian king, and his grandson Hushang, who discovered fire The downfall of King Jamshid the Magnificent, who thought he was as powerful as God The evil Prince Zahhak, who had serpents growing out of his shoulders The fearsome but kindly Simorgh, a mythical giant bird with a lion's head The great hero Rostam and his faithful stallion, Rakhsh And more!

You may have studied the ancient Persian Empire in school, but have you ever wondered what kinds of stories the ancient Persians told to themselves and their children? The roots of Persian myth extend back more than five thousand years to the culture of the Aryan people who migrated into Iran from India. Ideas from this ancient culture have enjoyed amazing longevity and are alive even today as part of the Zoroastrian faith, which is still practiced in Iran, India, and several other places around the world. However, Persian myth is more than just sacred writings about divine beings. There are also fantastic tales of kings and queens, of foundling princes who gain their rightful place against all odds, of magical beasts, and the daring adventures of bold heroes who ride out to conquer demons and dragons alike--and who always come home victorious. In this book of captivating myths from the rich culture of ancient Persia, you will encounter: The struggle between the good creator, Ahura Mazda, and the evil destroyer, Angra Mainyu The story of Ahura Mazda's creation of the world and the Blessed Immortals who guard it and keep it in existence How Yima the good shepherd enlarged the world to make room for all its creatures and then saved it from an apocalyptic winter The victory of the prophet Zarathustra over the demons sent to kill him The story of Kuyamars, the very first Persian king, and his grandson Hushang, who discovered fire The downfall of King Jamshid the Magnificent, who thought he was as powerful as God The evil Prince Zahhak, who had serpents growing out of his shoulders The fearsome but kindly Simorgh, a mythical giant bird with a lion's head The great hero Rostam and his faithful stallion, Rakhsh And more!

The Epic of Kings, Hero Tales of Ancient Persia Firdausi - The Epic of Kings, Hero Tales of Ancient Persia (The Shahnameh) is an epic poem by the Persian poet Firdausi, written between 966 and 1010 AD. Telling the past of the Persian empire, using a mix of the mythical and historical, it is regarded as a literary masterpiece. Not only important to the Persian culture, it is also important to modern day followers of the Zoroastrianism religion. It is said that the poem was Firdausi's efforts to preserve the memory of Persia's golden days, following the fall of the Sassanid empire. The poem contains, among others, mentions of the romance of Zal and Rudba, Alexander the Great, the wars with Afrsyb, and the romance of Bijan and Manijeh.
