Abstract

The final section of Bahman’ s sovereignty in Shahnameh deals with Homay’ s conception by his father Bahman. According to Ferdowsi’ s narrative and in accordance with Pahlavi teachings Bahman unites with Homay makes her his successor and orders that the born child should be the future king. Sassan, Bahman’ s son witnessing the event, leaves town and goes to Neyshabour, marries there and names his son Sassan too. Nihayat al-arab shares this narrative as well. According to Saalebi’ s narrative also Bahman marries Homay who bears him a child. After Bahman’ s death Homay assumes the throne. Comparing Ferdowsi’ s narrative of this Tale with the other two sources show that all three narratives have common source. On the other hand the difference in Shahnameh’ s narrative with the other two texts goes back to the style of narration Ferdowsi adopts and the way he utilizes his sources. Based on this research Ferdowsi’ s utilization of his source is a heterogeneous one. By combining two narratives, Ferdowsi narrates the Tale in a way which is more dramatic and capturing. In fact Ferdowsi takes each event from a different source and in order to have a more coherent sequence of events he adds certain incidence to the Tale.
