Abstract :

In this paper, a strategic analysis for the killing of Rostam in Shahnameh is presented with the approach of game theory. At first glance, the strategy of Hakim Ferdowsi is extracted, who doesn't want to give a free ride to the poets of future centuries after Rostam was killed in Shahnameh. The Ferdowsi and future poets game is a static and strict sequential game that is modeled using the 2x2 game theory atlas table. On the other hand, the game of Shoghad and Rostam using the strategic game model, after designing the strategies of the players, their earnings It has been calculated and analyzed in different situations according to the game environment. This 2x2 game is one of the static and strict sequential games It is hegemony. According to the table of this game, player p1 (Shaghad) who uses the conditions of the game to deceive player p2 (Rostam) and the game implemented in order to achieve his desire. One of the most important results of this article is to prove the deep thinking of Ferdowsi's strategic thinking, which as a strategist, it has been discussed and reviewed.
