It is the Persian epic from the creation of the world to the conquest of Iran on the Arab side. The heroic and legendary vicissitudes, the vicissitudes, the battles and the loves of the Iranian kings and heroes in their age-old war against the Turans and the demons of Ahriman. The eternal struggle between Good and Evil that everyone must take part in with works and weapons.

Hakīm Abol-Ghāsem Ferdowsī Tūsī (Persian: حکیم ابوالقاسم فردوسی توسی), most commonly transliterated as Ferdowsi or Firdowsi also known as Firdusi, (935-1020), is perhaps the most revered Persian poet, author of the national Shaepopame king of Persia (Iran).
