|
(Payvand News) Iranian author and artist Ramin Abhari has produced an amazing graphic novel depicting the world of Kaveh Ahangar, a blacksmith in Iranian mythology who leads a popular uprising against a ruthless foreign ruler, Zahhak.
Kaveh is the most famous of Persian mythological characters in resistance against despotic foreign rule in Iran. After losing 18 of his sons to Zahhak’s serpents, he rebels against the foreign ruler of Persia and leads the people to overthrow the tyrant king.
As a symbol of resistance and unity, he raises his leather apron on a spear, known as the Derafsh Kaviani. This flag is later decorated with precious jewels and becomes the symbol of Persian independence, resistance and resilience, as well as the revolutionary symbol of the masses in their fight against foreign invaders.
