Kaveh the Blacksmith is a famous figure in the Shahnameh. He was a simple blacksmith living under the rule of the tyrant Zahhak, who killed young people to feed the serpents growing from his shoulders. When Kaveh’s own children were threatened, he rebelled. He raised his leather apron on a spear and called the people to rise up. This apron later became the royal banner, known as the Derafsh-e Kaviani. With the support of Kaveh and the people, Fereydun overthrew Zahhak and became king.
If the sovereign of the world becomes a despot,
the heavens deny him the light of sun and moon.
