Aspects of History and Epic in Ancient Iran
Aspects Of History And Epic In
Ancient Iran
    One of the Ancient Near
    East's most important
    inscriptions is the
    Bisotun inscription of

    Darius I (6th century
    BCE), which reports on a
    suspicious fratricide and
    coup. Shayegan shows how
    the Bisotun's narrative
    influenced the Iranian
    epic, epigraphic, and
    historiographical
    traditions into the
    Sasanian and early
    Islamic periods.
