ABSTRACT 

In Shah-name, the final triumph is always on the side of good. In this regard, the end of the epic is interesting: the 

Iranian state collapsed under the crushing blow of the Arab troops, the greatness of Iran was cast into dust. But the 

ideological meaning of “Shahnameh”, all the calls of the author, the thoughts of the heroes depicted by him are aimed 

at glorifying their country. And since the fall of Iran is depicted in retrospect, as a fact that happened several centuries 

ago, Ferdowsi's work itself serves as a warning against repeating the same mistakes that led to defeat. 

 

KEYWORDS 

“Shahnameh”, Mazdak, human needs, worries, hopes and aspirations, poeticism. 

  

INTRODUCTION

Thus, the main idea of “Shahnameh” is the glorification 

of the native country, an enthusiastic hymn to Iran, a 

call for the unity of disparate forces, for the 

centralization of power in the name of repelling 

foreign invasions, for the good of the country. Iranian 

rulers - the heroes of “Shah-name” never start an

unjust war, they are always the right side, whether 

their enemies are Turanians, Byzantines or other 

nationalities. 

The authors of historical chronicles and court poets 

sought to brand and denigrate the rebellious peasants 

and their leaders. For comparison, we can cite the 

words of the 10th-century historian Saalibi: “The mob 

and the poor flocked to Mazdak in disorderly crowds, 

they fell in love with him and believed in his prophetic 

mission. He kept speaking false words.” Another 

historian, Tabari, calls the rebels “robbers, rapists, 

adulterers,” and Mazdak is a greedy and instigator. 

 The  “robbers” of medieval chronicles for the author 

of "Shah-name" were hungry, desperate people who 

were forced to take bread from the royal barns; 

Firdowsi depicts armed clashes as the greatest 

disasters for the population, who suffered not only 

from the enemy invasion, but also from the soldiers of 

their country, who robbed civilians during campaigns 

and trampled down their crops. The poet deeply 

worries about the fate of the workers, he mourns for 

their lot, and his attitude to this is reflected in the 

"Shah-name" in the form of orders issued by the rulers 

before campaigns. 

THE MAIN FINDINGS AND RESULTS 

This is also evidenced by another example: during a 

campaign in Asia Minor, Shah Khosrov Anushirvan 

ordered the execution of a warrior who dared to take 

a bag of straw from a farmer. And the poet-humanist 

sees in such an act of the ruler the fact of the greatest 

justice. 

In his social utopia, Firdousi calls on the rulers to take 

care of disabled members of society, orphans and 

widows, the elderly and the disabled. And again, such 

scenes, where the shahs show concern for their 

subjects, should be taken not as a reflection of the 

actual state of affairs, but only as an expression of the 

views of the author himself. 

Such is Firdousi, the great philanthropist who, while 

remaining the son of his harsh era, managed to create 

lines full of noble indignation, sincere compassion, 

genuine kindness and understanding of human needs, 

worries, hopes and aspirations. 

The heroes and characters of "Shah-name" later 

became the banner of the revolutionary struggle and 

liberation wars. After all, it was not for nothing that the 

Gilan revolutionaries of Iran in 1921 depicted the 

blacksmith Kava on their banners, and it was not by 

chance that the poet of Tajikistan, laureate of the Lenin 

Prize Mirzo Tursunzade, read poems from Shahnameh 

at an anti-fascist rally of the peoples of Central Asia. 

Firdousi's “Shahnameh” among the creations of the 

world literature of the Middle Ages stands as an 

unattainable bulk. This fruit of the tireless 35-year work 

of the great poet surpasses everything created at that

time by the extraordinary breadth of conception, the 

depth of the philosophical and ethical concept and the 

perfection of artistic performance. The canonical 

formulas of the epic style are organically combined 

here with individual author's characteristics. 

The author does not at all strive for self-valuable 

"poeticism" of presentation, since he puts the 

thoroughness of recreating a huge historical chronicle 

at the forefront. Nevertheless, from time to time, as if 

by chance, he allows himself pearls of metaphor. 

So, in approaching the denouement of the dramatic 

events of the book “Rustam and Sukhrab”, the 

awakening of the day on the eve of the last fight 

between the two giants is indicated by an exquisite 

allegory: “Only, tearing the throat of the night’s 

vulture, // The sun spread its wings over the world ...”. 

Just as occasionally, the poet allows himself to sketch 

a landscape picture, showing amazing mastery and 

every time filling it with psychological overtones. 

Firdousi is more generous with colorful descriptions, 

and the diversity of this colorfulness attracts attention. 

Perhaps, we find the culmination of this quality in a 

large episode of the book “Rustam and Sukhrab”, 

where the young hero asks about the headquarters of 

the leaders of the Iranian army stretching in the 

distance, observing luxurious tents of different colors: 

black, crimson, emerald, white, yellow, green. 

In the final lines of his epic, the greatest poet of Iran, 

knowing that it is read everywhere and its author is 

already honored, confidently says: 

"I will never die! I will live again 

In the seedlings of the word sown by me. 

CONCLUSION 

Indeed, his grandiose work, having absorbed all the 

main layers of the national epic of the Persians and 

Tajiks, gained immortality, had a huge impact on the 

literature of the East, including causing numerous 

imitations. The universe of “Shahnameh” is complex 

and mysterious. And only a consistent explanation of 

the ideas of the confrontation between the two 

principles, Firdowsi’s views on the nature of man and 

the nature of power can give an understanding of what 

an ideal ruler should be and determine his main 

characteristic features in the Shahnameh. In the part of 

the epic dedicated to Kay-Khosrow, Ferdowsi identifies 

the following characteristics that an ideal ruler should 

have: the ability to distinguish between good and evil, 

virtue.
