The White Demon Awaits: Rostam’s Seventh Trial Setup in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh

10 min•25 november 2025

In this  episode of Poetry of Time, we retell all Seven Trials of Rostam in full detail — from the lion in the reeds to the final battle with the White Demon. This story stands apart in the Shahnameh: dreamlike, surreal, filled with speaking beasts and sorcery. We also explain why “seven trials” does not mean “seven tests,” but seven waystations where destiny awaited the hero.
