Zohak pursued him. In the remote East, on the sea of China, Jemshid was over- taken and slain.
The old Arian legend of the happy age of Yima show sitself even yet through Firdusi's version. Death could not approach men under his dominion ; there 250 EASTERN IRAN.
was no sickness, and therefore Jemslrid is said to have discovered the art of healing. The Avesta had already found a motive for the fall of Yima in the fact that he had refused to announce the law, and at length had begun to love lies... (p. 41). The Zohak of Firdusi is no other than the ancient cloud dragon, Azhi dahaka, which attempts to carry away the waters of the sky, and swallows up men and horses. He is now a foreign, hostile, bloodthirsty king, who puts an end to the blessings of Yima's reign in order to bring the reverse of blessing upon Iran. Azhi clahaka had three heads and three throats ; Zohak has two serpents growing from his shoulders, to which by degrees thousands fall as sacrifices, for they are fed with the brains of men, and for this purpose two youths are slaughtered every day.
