Details
Iranian myths and legends are an ancient treasury of creation stories, heroes, and idealized kings, rooted in Indo-Iranian and Zoroastrian belief and reaching their narrative summit in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. This section addresses figures and tales such as Jamshid, Fereydun, Zahhak, Rostam, Siyavash, and the perpetual struggle between good and evil. These myths are both a reflection of the ancient Iranian worldview and an enduring source of the cultural and literary identity of Iranians.
