Abstract

A study of the stories of Zahhak in ancient texts and the texts of the Islamic era shows that there are two quite separate stories about the end of this demonic existence, one told by Zoroastrian religious authorities (Fereydun killing Zahhak up and imprisoning him on the mythical Mt. Damavand) and the other the continuation of the ancient Version (Fereydun killing Zahhak). Both versions have appeared in the Islamic era sources. On the other hand, there is ample evidence that shows that the more recent versions of the story of Zahhak appearing in Pahlavi texts and the religious texts of the Zoroastrians and, consequently, in the texts of the Islamic era, have been modeled on the story of Ahriman: sawing Jamsid, killing the guard of the marvelous cow Barmaye, killing of the cow by Zahhak, killing Mardas, Zahhak’s father, in the pit and imprisoning Zahhak on the Mt. Damavand. In this paper, the writer provides evidence to prove that those who wrote these stories took inspiration from the killing by Ahriman of Kyumars, the mythological first man in the beginning of creation in Ahriman’s second attack on the Ahuramazda world.
