The Shah-Nameh or Epic of Persian Kings is a book written by Charles F. Horne. It is a comprehensive account of the history and mythology of Persia, covering the reigns of over 50 kings and heroes. The book is a translation of the original Persian text, which was written by the poet Ferdowsi in the 11th century. The Shah-Nameh is an epic poem that tells the story of Persia from its creation to the Islamic conquest. It is divided into three parts: the mythical, the heroic, and the historical. The mythical section describes the creation of the world and the early kings of Persia. The heroic section tells the stories of the great heroes of Persia, including Rostam and Sohrab. The historical section covers the reigns of the kings of Persia, from Cyrus the Great to the last Sassanian king, Yazdgerd III. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Persian history and mythology, and is considered a masterpiece of Persian literature.THIS 158 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East: Ancient Persia, by Charles F.
