A Dragon Named "AZ"

Azidahak (zahhak) has always been a strange myth among the other mythological characters in pre-Islamic Literature. Is it possible to figure out a specific historical period for his life? Or as Avesta's image shows, we should consider him as a semi-human, semi-monster notion with three ugly heads on his shoulder? This article tries to put this figure on the spotlight and illuminate his real face through a rigorous comparison between Domon of AZ and Azidahak. The research basically aimed to obvious similarities between them and shows that azidahak is a very suitable body which AZ (greed) can hide in it. Some of pre Islamix texts in pahlavi language, introduce some different kinds of Daeva (monsters) who can hide in human body and control his/her behaviors. In other words Zahhak (as Shahnameh and pre Islamic tales has revealed) is a very interesting symbol of AZ. This mythological king is a symbol of whom greed has occupied their soul and manipulate them for his own purposes.
