Abstract

The life story of Zā; l-the son of Sam of Narī mā n-is one of the most adventurous and astonishing stories of epic-heroic Iranian texts. Having white hair, being banished by his father, growing up in the Sī morgh's nest, and finally living a long life, are among the features which differentiates Zā; l from other heroes of national stories. In Š; ā hnā; meh, Zā; l is a mighty hero in his youth, but as soon as Rostam reaches adulthood, Zā; l secedes the battlefield due to the weakness of senility, and gives way to Rostam; thereafter, Zā; l plays the role of a wise hero who advises the kings and other heroes. Apparently this drawback in his life provoked the future storytellers to create narrations, in which Zā; l despite his oldness, is one of the greatest heroes with many heroic actions in battlefields. One of these stories is the battle of Zā; l with demons in his youth, that ended up with his victory. In this paper, firstly the stories of Zā; l in the epic-heroic texts of Iran is studied; afterward, the unknown epopee of “ Zā; l va Maqā; tel-e Dī; v” is introduced, and the approximate time of its composition is estimated according to textual evidences.
