Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ferdowsi Shahnameh as a natural epic work has a special place among other epics in the world. One of the reasons for this is the great and prominent theme of philosophy, the causes and results of the struggle, which from the beginning to the end of this work in each of its stories creates a kind of exciting, sad and emotional scenes. One of the important struggles in this great work is the struggle against Jamshid and Zahak in the stories related to them, which in this article examines philosophy, its causes and results.

METHODOLOGY: In the present study, for better and more useful access to information, the library method has been used.

FINDINGS: Combat events, in turn, have powerful sources that are the result of the boiling of centuries and millennia, and undoubtedly help their strong motivations, and in addition, will bring results and consequences. In fact, Ferdowsi Hakim had more goals in the struggles of the epic characters of Shahnameh than just narrating the history of the past of Iran; The main philosophy of the struggle against Jamshid is religious tyranny and in Zahak"s story, his socio-political and cultural tyranny.

CONCLUSION: The story of Zahak is associated with anti-political, social, economic and cultural dimensions of the Iranians, which with the overthrow of this tyrannical king and the accession of Fereydoun Farzaneh Dadgar, promoted results such as peace, security and politics. Instead of accepting superstitions, the culture of rationality leads to ideological unity, building and fighting destruction and war, economic growth, strengthening the economic base by employing efficient forces in agriculture, strengthening defense by employing talented military and war forces.
