The Shah-Nameh, also known as the Epic of Persian Kings, is a book written by Charles F. Horne that tells the history of Persia through the stories of its kings. The book is a translation of the original Persian text written by the poet Ferdowsi in the 10th century. It is divided into three parts: the mythical history of Persia, the heroic age of Persia, and the Islamic period of Persia. The book covers the reigns of more than 50 Persian kings, including Cyrus the Great, Darius the Great, and Alexander the Great. The stories are filled with battles, love, betrayal, and triumphs. The Shah-Nameh is considered one of the greatest works of Persian literature and is a must-read for anyone interested in Persian history and culture.THIS 158 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East: Ancient Persia, by Charles F.
