<p><b>The selected adventures of Persia''s Hercules, from Iran''s great national epic</b><br><br> No understanding of world mythology is complete without acquaintance with Rostam, Iran''s most celebrated mythological hero. According to the <i>Shahnameh </i>(the tenth-century <i>Book of Kings</i>), this titan, magnificent in strength and courage, bestrode Persia for 500 years. While he often served fickle kings - undergoing many trials of combat, cunning, and endurance - he was never their servant and owed allegiance only to his nation''s greater good. Anyone interested in folklore, world literature, or Iranian culture will find <i>Rostam</i> both a rousing and illuminating read.</p><p>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
