    The story of Rostam and Esfandiyār is one of the most moving tragedies in Ferdowsi’s epic Shāhnāmeh. In this story, we have three main characters: Rostam as a superman; Esfandiyār, an invulnerable hero who is simple-minded; and Goshtāsp who fears either his son (Esfandiyār) or  his enemies might dethrone him.
