Description: Persian Myths & Legends (2023 Hardcover, New) Flame Tree Pub. Foreword by Dr Christine van RuymbekeEdited by JK Jackson Once an empire that ranged from India all the way to the Balkans and Ancient Greece, Persia is one of the world's oldest civilizations. Now modern Iran, its mythology draws on the stories of these rich cultures, as well as Zoroastrianism. Chronicled and transformed by great Persian poets such as Firdusi, Rumi, and Nizami, these stories explore the conflict between good and evil through demons and angelic beings, great heroes and epic romances. Gathered here are a diverse collection of enthralling tales passed down through millennia, featuring some of the most culturally significant works in the literary world. Featured within are translations of classical Persian texts like the Shah Nameh (Book of Kings), the Gulistan (Flower Garden) and the Rubaiyat, which bring to life the philosophy, legends, and fables of ancient and high medieval Persia. After an introduction to the background and central themes and figures of Persian mythology and folklore, the book is then split into selections from these key works and authors. Full of magic, adventure and wisdom, this anthology gives insight into an incredibly vibrant and inventive culture. Gathered together in a stunning hardback, this is a joyful and rewarding read.
