Persian & Arabian

Faramarz

Most of what he is famous for was written by someone other than Ferdowsi.

5 chapters on the figure behind the card, researched in the Persian & Arabian mythology sources and reviewed before publication. See Faramarz’s card →

  1. Rostam's Other Son The poem gives him a father, a war, and no mother's name.
  2. The Debt He Ran Up He raids a camp, kills a prince's son, and buys the family a feud.
  3. What He Did for the Body The Shahnameh gives more lines to the funeral than to the revenge.
  4. Head Downward He dies the exact death he had given somebody else.
  5. The Trunk and the Branches Nearly everything he is famous for is in a different poem.
