	Persian Poetry and Shahnameh Books - Culture of Iran from Mage Publishers
		Once one has registered the similarity in the descriptions of the demon’s appearance and that of Rostam’s father, it is hard not to see this struggle as an Oedipal reversal of a common motif in the Shahnameh, the death of sons through the actions of their fathers.
		Rostam is a great subduer of demons, but as with another Persian hero (and king this time) Jamshid, whose authority over demons seems at times to come as much from his participation in their world as his defeat of it, there is a suggestion of “set a thief to catch a thief” about his prowess.
		Rostam is protected by the feathers of a fabulous bird, and he wears a tiger skin, and slyness is exactly the quality associated with tigers in Indian lore (e.g., in Buddhist Jataka tales: there is a distant echo of this in Kipling’s Shere Khan in The Jungle Book)...

	Rostam Farokhzad - Biocrawler
		Yazdgird and Rostam did not often had much of a chance to conference and debate with each other because both of them were often fighting or gathering troops on two different areas of Persian Empire and apart from each other.
		Rostam knew that he had to chase Arabs all the way back and defeat them, and when he had to come back to Ctesiphone, he knew that he just lost a golden opportunity, the last opportunity to save the Empire!
		When all was lost and the Persian forces scattered due to the sand storm, Rostam kept up the faith and the spirit of Persian Guards and fought Arabs with a small circle of his closest guards.

	Rostam, Kurdish painter
		Rostam laughs as he tells his story, but clearly these years were difficult years for him.
		Since becoming a teenager Rostam confesses to frequently falling in love with girls -- some of whom he did not even speak to -- but in 1995 he met Goulala and this, he decided, was the real thing.
		Rostam’s problem is that the Kurdish people rich enough to buy his paintings have little esteem for his "folklorist" and "coulourist" style: "I could just as well hang a kilim on my wall", says a wealthy businessman.
