Rostam is the epic hero of the Persian epic of Shahnameh in Persian mythology and son of Zal and Rudabeh.

Rostam and Sohrab
Rostam is a Persian hero and one of the favorites of King Kaykavous. Once, following the traces of his lost horse, he enters the kingdom of Samangan where he becomes the guest of the king during the search for his horse. There Rostam meets princess Tahmina and marries her. The king becomes furious and exiles Rostam. Rostam leaves after he gives Tahmina a necklace to remind her of him, not knowing of their unborn child whom she later names Sohrab. Rostam, angered by the king’s actions leaves to become a great warrior. Rostam and Sohrab never meet until a new war between Iran and Turan started many years later. By then Sohrab has become known as the best fighter of Turan army.
As no one else dares to fight Rostam, Sohrab is sent to wrestle with the legendary Persian hero. However, the name of the hero is kept hidden from him, as Sohrab knows that Rostam was his father. On the battlefield, Rostam and Sohrab fight for an unknown amount of time, neither knowing the true name of the other.
After a very long and heavy bout of wrestling, Rostam feels weak and, fearing for his reputation, he stabs his son in the heart. It is then that he notices the necklace that he once gave Tahmina who gave it to her son to keep her safe during the war. Tahmina, who comes to the field to save them from bloodshed, arrives too late and finds Sohrab lying dead in his mourning father’s arms.

Zahak is an evil figure in Iranian mythology
According to Ferdowsi, Zahh***257;k (Arabic transliteration: ***7692;a***7717;***7717;***257;k or ***7692;u***7717;***7717;***257;k) was born as the son of an Arab ruler named Merd***257;s. Because of his Arab origins, he is sometimes called Zahh***257;k-e T***257;zi, “the Arabian Zahh***257;k.” He was handsome and clever, but had no stability of character and was easily influenced by evil counsellors. Ahriman therefore chose him as the tool for his plans for world domination.
When Zahh***257;k was a young man, Ahriman first appeared to him as a glib, flattering companion, and by degrees convinced him that he ought to kill his own father and take over his territories. He taught him to dig a deep pit covered over with leaves in a place where Merd***257;s was accustomed to walk; Merd***257;s fell in and was killed. Zahh***257;k thus became both patricidal and king at the same time.
Ahriman now took another guise, and presented himself to Zahh***257;k as a marvellous cook. After he had presented Zahh***257;k with many days of sumptuous feasts, Zahh***257;k was willing to give Ahriman whatever he wanted. Ahriman merely asked to kiss Zahh***257;k on his two shoulders. Zahh***257;k permitted this; but when Ahriman had touched his lips to Zahh***257;k’s shoulders, he immediately vanished. At once, two black snakes grew out of Zahh***257;k’s shoulders. They could not be surgically removed, for as soon as one snake-head had been cut off, another took its place.
Ahriman now appeared to Zahh***257;k in the form of a skilled physician. He counselled Zahh***257;k that the only remedy was to let the snakes remain on his shoulders, and sate their hunger by supplying them with human brains for food every day otherwise the snakes will feed on his own.
From a psychological point of view the snakes on Zahhak’s shoulders could represent his lust for killing or a form of sadism which if left unsatisfied would torment Zahhak. Also when Zahhak is defeated by Fereydun, he cannot think of a better fitting punishment than to simply bound him in cave where the snakes (not being fed) will eat Zahhak’s own brain symbolizing his inner agony and unsatisfied homicidal lust.
This story is Ferdowsi’s way of reconciling the descriptions of Dah***257;g as a three-headed dragon monster and those stories which treat him as a human king. According to Ferdowsi, Zahh***257;k is originally human, but through the magic of Ahriman he becomes a monster; he does, in fact, have three heads, the two snake heads and one human head; and the snakes remind us of his original character as a dragon.
The characterization of Zahh***257;k as an Arab in part reflects the earlier association of Dah***257;g with the Semitic peoples of Iraq, but probably also reflects the continued resentment of many Iranians at the 7th century Arab conquest of Persia.

Fereydun
According to Ferdowsi’s Sh***257;hn***257;meh, Fereydun was the son of ***256;bt***299;n, one of descendants of Jamshid. Fereydun, together with Kaveh, revolted against the tyrannical king “Zahh***257;k”, defeated and arrested him in the Alborz Mountains. Afterwards Fereydun became the king and, according to the myth, ruled the country for about 500 years. At the end of his life he allocated his kingdom to his three sons; Salm, Tur, and Iraj. Iraj was Fereydun’s youngest and favored son and inherited the best part of the kingdom, namely Iran. Salm inherited Asia Minor (“R***363;m”, more generally meaning the Roman Empire, the Greco-Roman world, or just “the West”) and Tur inherited Central Asia (“T***363;r***257;n”, all the lands north and east of the Oxus, as far as China), respectively. This aroused Iraj’s brothers’ envy and encouraged them to murder him. After Iraj’s murder, Fereydun enthroned Iraj’s grandson, Man***363;chehr. Man***363;chehr’s attempt to avenge his grandfather’s murder initiated the Iranian-Turanian wars.
