The White Demon Awaits: Rostam’s Seventh Trial Setup in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh

In this  episode of Poetry of Time, we retell all Seven Trials of Rostam in full detail — from the lion in the reeds to the final battle with the White Demon. This story stands apart in the Shahnameh: dreamlike, surreal, filled with speaking beasts and sorcery. We also explain why “seven trials” does not mean “seven tests,” but seven waystations where destiny awaited the hero.Send us Fan MailSupport the showsupport us : https://www.buzzsprout.com/2455549/supportOur website : https://shahnamehpoetryoftime.buzzsprout.com/Fan mail : https://shahnamehpoetryoftime.buzzsprout.com/2455549/fan_mail
