    Jul 3 2025

    In this episode of Poetry of Time, we trace the chilling origins of Zahhak, the Serpent King of Persian mythology. Born in Arabia, tempted by Iblis, cursed with snakes upon his shoulders — Zahhak's hunger for power knows no limits. When the nobles of Iran, desperate for a ruler, invite him to their land… they unknowingly open the gates to a thousand years of fear and tyranny.

    Discover how ambition, deception, and misplaced trust allowed darkness to cross mountains — and how the shadows of Zahhak’s reign fell over Iran.

    This is the story of how a king rose… not from heroism… but from horror.
