The legend of Garshasp in the Garshasp-nama and its comparison with Rostam in the Shahnameh
Keywords:
epic, legend, Garshasp, Rostam, Shahnameh, Garshasp-namaAbstract
Garshasp Sam Nariman is one of the Indo-Iranian heroes and legends whose names and stories are mentioned in Avesta, and Asadi wrote this epic poem about his bravery. This epic and legendary figure seemed feeble and pallid in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. The Heroic acts of Garshasp have typically been assigned to Sam and Rostam throughout the history of the growth and change of Iranian national epics. In Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, with the arrival of Rostam, Garshasp has been forgotten, and Rostamhas become the sole Iranian epic and national hero. This paper will compare the characters, morality, and heroic features and acts of the two heroes in the Garshasp-nama and the Shahnameh.
