by Charles F. Horne (Editor)

The Shah-Nameh, also known as the Epic of Persian Kings, is a book written by Charles F. Horne. It is a comprehensive account of the history and mythology of Persia, from the beginning of time to the Islamic conquest in the 7th century. The book is based on the original work of the Persian poet Ferdowsi, who spent over 30 years compiling the stories and legends of the Persian kings. Horne's version is an English translation of the Shah-Nameh, providing readers with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Persia. The book is divided into three parts: the mythical age, the heroic age, and the historical age. Each section contains tales of battles, love stories, and the lives of legendary kings and heroes. The Shah-Nameh is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Persian history and literature.THIS 158 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East: Ancient Persia, by Charles F.
