Abstract

The Story of ZAHHAK, one of mysterious tales of SHAHNAMEH, has been often analyzed from political and social points of view.The present article tries to analyze the battle of FEREYDUN and ZAHHAK from a mystical perspective.Fereydun (from teri meaning "the third" and tenin meaning "snake and dragon") has three sons. ZAHHAK has three snakes: two snakes on his shoulders and the third one is his own head. FEREYDUN fights ZAHHAK but has no right to kill him; he must only imprison ZAHHAK. As in mystical texts the dragon is a SYMBOL of the carnal soul (Nafs-e-Ammareh), so it can be said that FEREYDUN is a SYMBOL of the peaceful soul (Nafs-e-Mutmainneh). The man can control the carnal soul (Nafs-e-Ammareh) but can never annihilate it.
