Kārnāmag-ī Ardaxšīr-ī Pābagān
The Kārnāmag-ī Ardaxšīr-ī Pābagān ("Book of the Deeds of Ardashir, Son of Papag"), is a mythological Middle Persian tale written in the Sassanid period (226-651).
The book narrates the epic adventures of Ardashir I, the founder of the Sassanid Empire. The story relates how Ardashir's father Papag, dreamed that his father Sassan would be reborn as Ardashir.
When Ardashir was born he spent his childhood in the court of Artabanus IV of Parthia and then ran away with a servant of the King. After several wars with Artabanus, Ardashir defeated and killed the King, and thus could found the new empire.
Historians would later name the dynasty after Sassan, Ardashir's grandfather.

Contemporary Persian and Classical Persian are the same language, but writers since 1900 are classified as contemporary. At one time, Persian was a common cultural language of much of the non-Arabic Islamic world. Today it is the official language of Iran, Tajikistan and one of the two official languages of Afghanistan. |
