   Summary

   The Reign of Zahhak,” the fifth tale and the fifth kingship of the Pishdadian dynasty in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, narrates the thousand-year rule of Zahhak, a foreign king among Iran’s earliest rulers. During this prolonged era, wisdom and righteousness gradually faded, superstition and oppression prevailed, and Iran fell under the shadow of his dark dominion.
