Abstract:
Zahak in the Shahnameh is an evil character who has produced one of the worst historical-mythical periods. In the Shahnameh, with the guidance of Iblis, he kills his father, carnivores, slaughters and destroys the world. The character of Iblis, with an extroverted interpretation of the myth, with the signs that it is, must be the mother of Zahak. In Shahnameh's account of human actions, he reflects a family plot with his son Zahak against his wife Mardas. In the mythical depiction of the mother of Zahak in the religious epistle Oudg, whose actions in Zoroastrian texts correspond to those of Iblis in the Shahnameh narrative. In the depiction of social history, the Zakah government system is a matriarchal system. In the ancient tribal mother-mother (the devil), the cultivation of the land was flourished by killing the old king (Mardas) and spilling his blood on agricultural fields (killing Mardas in the garden) and marrying a young hero (Zahak). On the historical front, Zahak is also reminiscent of the Western invasion of Iran. One example of a widespread Western invasion of Iran in the Western chronicles is the invasion of the kingdom of Nineus and Nineas with the mighty Queen Samiramis. There are many similarities between the actions of Samiramis and Ninias or Ninius with Iblis (Zahak's mother) and Zahak, which indicates the presence of the powerful female element in Zahak's court.
