Demonic forces in the Shahnameh and their demonstrations

Metaphysics has appeared in the Shahnameh, in one of the perspectives, in the form of a conflict between the forces of good (Divine) and the forces of evil (the devil). That is why in most of the stories of Shahnameh, the footprints of one of these forces are clearly visible. The demonic forces that are the subject of the present discussion in the Shahnameh are: the devil, the satan, the demon, the sorcerer, and the dragon. Most of these phenomena can be transformed by relying on the superhuman force and transforming themselves into another and generally desirable form (such as a deceitful woman) and deceiving and misleading the characters in the story. All these phenomena, with all their strength and power, will eventually be destroyed by the hero, who is not without the help of the divine and good forces, and the world will live in relative peace until the next manifestation of these forces. It is noteworthy that as we move from the beginning of the Shahnameh to the historical parts (the end of the Shahnameh), there is a relatively significant change in the type of demonic forces. , for example, In the historical section unlike the mythological and heroic sections, there is no mention of demons, devils, or the daemon, and the dragon, and sometimes the sorcerer, has become the perfect representative of the demonic forces.
