Persian Myths & Legends

Persian Myths & Legends by Sahba Shayani

Gorgeous Collector's Edition. The great works of Persia contain some of the most beautiful language in the literary world. The Shah Nameh, Masnavi-e Manavi, the Anvar-i Suhayli fables and more, rival Dante's Divine Comedy, India's Mahabharata and Sumeria's Epic of Gilgamesh in their cultural impact, bringing to life the tales of Ancient Persia.

Dr. Sahba Shayani is Senior Lecturer in Persian at the University of Oxford. He holds a PhD in Persian literature from the University of California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on the role of women and women's agency in premodern Persian epic romance poetry, specifically Ferdowsi’s Shāhnāmeh (1010 CE), Gorgāni’s Vis o Rāmin (1050–1055 CE) and Nezāmi’s Khosrow o Shirin (1191 CE).
