Part Two (2):

What is the symbolic and archetypal meaning of the two serpents growing from Zahhak’s shoulders?

Why must the serpent-shouldered Zahhak feed the brains of young people to his serpents?

Why do Iranians go to the land of the Arabs to bring Zahhak to Iran and make him their king?

What is the hidden meaning of the presence of Armayel and Garmayel in Zahhak’s kitchen?

What is the archetypal interpretation of Barmayeh, the multicoloured cow whose milk nourishes Fereydun?

These are the questions we consider in the second part of the archetypal interpretation of the myth of the serpent-shouldered Zahhak, which examines Zahhak’s method of ruling Iran, so that we may understand the meaning hidden in the symbolism of this major social narrative in the history of the Iranian lands, a story that stands at the heart of the Mehregan tradition.
