Rustam (English spelling)

Japanese: ロスタム(英語表記)Rustam
Rustam (English spelling)
A legendary Iranian hero. His heroic tales form the central part of Firdausi's Shahnameh (Book of Kings). According to it, Rostam was born to Zar, the son of Sam, a ruler of the Zabulistan region in northern Sistan, and Rudaveh, and served three generations of the Kayanid dynasty, Kai Qubad, Kai Qaws, and Kai Khusrow, and achieved many military feats. Originally, the heroic tale of Rostam was one of the heroic legends handed down from ancient times in the Zabulistan region, and was widely retold among Iranians since the Sassanid period, but it is thought that Firdausi reconstructed it along with other Iranian legends. With the development of Iranian culture in the Middle Ages, the story spread beyond Iran and Afghanistan to Central Asia, India, and Asia Minor, and his name is still widely known today.

イランの伝説的英雄。その武勇伝はフィルダウシーの『シャー・ナーメ (王書) 』の中心的部分をなす。それによると,ロスタムはシースターン北部のザーブリスターン地方の領主サームの子ザールとルーダーベの間に生れ,カヤーニー朝のカイ・クバード,カイ・カーウース,カイ・ホスローの3代に仕えて幾多の武勲をあげた。元来,ロスタムの英雄譚はザーブリスターン地方に古くから伝わる英雄伝説の一つで,ササン朝期からイラン人の間に広く語り伝えられたものであるが,フィルダウシーによって他のイランの諸伝説とともに再構成されたと考えられる。その物語は中世におけるイラン文化の発展に伴い,イラン,アフガニスタンを越えて中央アジア,インド,小アジアにまで伝えられ,今日でも彼の名は広く知られている。
