He famously wears the zД«n-i palang or 'panther-skin garment': While the narrative of the Shahname is the definitive work on Rostam, Ferdowsi did not invent the character Rostam stories were popular as far back as the seventh century in Pars and originated much earlier, likely in Eastern Iranian-speaking territories. He rode the legendary stallion Rakhsh and wore a special suit named Babr-e Bayan in battles. Rostam was always represented as the mightiest of Iranian paladins (holy warriors), and the atmosphere of the episodes in which he features is strongly reminiscent of the Parthian Empire. Rostam was eventually killed by Shaghad, his half-brother. He is also known for the story of Seven Labours. Rostam is best known for his tragic fight with EsfandiyДЃr, the other legendary Iranian hero for his expedition to Mazandaran (not to be confused with the modern Mazandaran Province) and for tragically fighting and killing his son, Sohrab, without knowing who his opponent was. In the Shahnameh, Rostam and his predecessors are Marzbans of Sistan (present-day Iran and Afghanistan). However, the roots of the narrative date much earlier. Rostam or Rustam ( Persian: Ш±ШіШЄЩ…вЂЋ ) is a legendary hero in Persian mythology, the son of ZДЃl and Rudaba, whose life and work was immortalized by the 10th-century Persian poet Ferdowsi in the Shahnameh, or Epic of Kings, which contains pre-Islamic Iranian folklore and history.
