  • The Shahname of Firdowsi
    The Shahname of Firdowsi The Shahname of Firdowsi by Iraj Bashiri copyright, Bashiri 1993, 2003 and 2008 Introduction The conflict between the present-day Uzbeks and their Tajik neighbors that is at times inflamed has a long and multi-faceted history. On the one hand, it is related to the ancient history of the two peoples, when the Turks, arriving in Central Asia from the confines of Mongolia, overthrew Iranian rule, including Tajik rule. And, on the other hand, it is related to the resilience of the Tajik culture and the ability of the Tajiks to retain their authority in spite of the might of the Turkish sultans and amirs. In recent decades, especially after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Turks revived Pan-Turkism, once again denying the Tajiks their identity. In this regard, they often cite Afrasiyab from the epic of Firdowsi, as the eponymous ancestor of the Turks. This claim presents several difficulties. First, both in the ancient Iranian texts and in Firdowsi's Shahname, Afrasiyab is a mythical character. He is not the real-world king that, for instance, al-Tabari would like us to believe.[1] Secondly, within the myth, he is a Turanian who has lost his farr (kingly glory) and seeks to restore it. This means that the Turanians of the Shahname are of Iranian stock. Thirdly, a review of the Orkhon inscriptions and life on the steppe indicates that neither the Turanians nor the Iranians of the Shahname share the öz (real) Turk cultural heritage of which the Turks are proud.

  • Shahnameh and Later Persian Epics1
    1. 2. Wrestling in the SHAHNAMEH and Later Persian Epics1 H.E. Chehabi n a recent essay, Gabrielle van den Berg writes: “the most famous episode in the Shahnameh is no doubt that of Rostam and Sohrab: and more specifically, the culmination of this story, in which Sohrab I 2 is killed by his father Rostam.” This filicide concludes a single combat referred to in the book as koshti, a word that means “wrestling” in New Persian. The association of wrestling, arguably Iran’s national (but not most popular) sport, with Ferdowsi’s Book of Kings is therefore an ancient and enduring one. In fact, the earliest written occurrence of the word koshti may very well be in the Shahnameh. In this essay I shall begin by discussing the pre-Islamic context of the practice of wrestling, as well as the etymology of the word koshti. I shall demonstrate that iconographic, literary, and philological evidence all point to a Parthian origin for Iran’s wrestling heritage. I will then discuss the six Shahnameh episodes that involve wrestling, and go on to examine references to wrestling in some of the other works that constitute Iran’s epic tradition. I end with a discussion of the interplay between poetry and practice. 1. I should like to thank Jennifer Berry, Vesta Curtis, Olga Davidson, Mas- sumeh Farhad, Shahrzad Ghobadlou, James Kohler, Brady Langmann, Ludwig Paul, Nahid Pirnazar, Parvaneh Pourshariati, Philippe Rochard, Mira Xenia Schwerda, Asghar Seyed-Ghorab, Sunil Sharma, and Josef Wiesehöfer for their help. 2.

  • Moral Commitments in Shahnameh
    Journal of Social Studies. Vol., 1 (5), 54-57, 2015 Available online at http://www.jssjournal.com ISSN: 2149-3316 ©2015 Moral commitments in Shahnameh Leili Ghare Baghi, Kamran Pashaei Fakhri*, Parvaneh Adelzadeh Department of Persian Literature and Languages, Tabriz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] Abstract: The aim of this research was to investigate moral commitment in Shahnameh as component of social capital. Although, Shahnameh is epic but it contains social, sociology, human relations and moral teaching issues and it reflects Iranian society characteristics in details. Firdausi’s rhetoric of elocution and poetics in description, simplicity of speech andeloquence, validity and advantage add on the value of Persian literature. Accuracy and subtlety in description of details have led to consideration of Shahnameh as treasure of Iranian social traditions and customs. Firdausi’s ideology has manifested in the form of eloquent literature besides his social perspectives. This article tries to investigate moral commitments and its components in the unique work of Persian literature and uncover broad meaning and moral commitments in Shahnameh in broad scope. Key words: Moral Commitments, Social Capital, Persian Literature, Firdausi, Shahnameh, Didactic Literature. Introduction Religion is effective component in improvement of the social relationships and in most cases, it leads to attachment and trust among people which strengthens the pillars of social life and its decline causes to collapse of the society foundation and social life. By commitment and responsibility taking among the believers, religion causes to peace, kindness and interest and establishes healthy social and person life. This article tries to investigate different examples of moral commitments in different situations in Shahnameh by referring to some miracles and narratives and also uncover the value of the moral commitments from Firdausi’s perspective by emphasis on different books and also Islamic teachings.

This epic is a seminal work in the literature of the Ancient Near East and is the “chief source whence the Persians derive their ideas as to the ancient history of their nation”.2 Beyond the beauty of the text, with its magnificent stories and wonderful images, lies a dark and gruesome root – blood.
