Jamshid

Update: 2025-11-24

Description

One of the best sources for Persian myths is the Shahnameh or “Book of Kings”. This epic poem was composed in 1010 AD and is one of the most important examples of Iranian literature. It tells a legendary history of Persia, starting with creation and the doings of the first kings, and then covers stories of successive generations of kings and their heroic champions.

This episode (66) covers one of the most significant kings – Jamshid, and his rise and ultimate fall after he succumbs to hubris.
