Synopsis "The Epic of Kings: Hero Tales of Ancient Persia"
The Epic of Kings - Hero Tales of Ancient Persia by Firdausi and translated by Helen Zimmern. Contains 18 Stories of Persian Heroes by Ferdowsi, also transliterated as Firdawsi, Firdusi, Firdosi, Firdausi, was a Persian poet and the author of Shahnameh ("Book of Kings"), which is the world's longest epic poem created by a single poet, and the national epic of Greater Iran. Ferdowsi is celebrated as the most influential figure in Persian literature and one of the greatest in the history of literature. It is possible that Ferdowsi wrote some early poems which have not survived. He began work on the Shahnameh around 977, intending it as a continuation of the work of his fellow poet Daqiqi, who had been assassinated by a slave. Like Daqiqi, Ferdowsi employed the prose Shahnameh of Abd-al-Razzaq as a source. He received generous patronage from the Samanid prince Mansur and completed the first version of the Shahnameh in 994.
