In the Persian epic poem Amir Arsalan, what kind of weapon is Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegār?
Amir Arsalan Amir Arsalan-e Namdar (Persian: امیر ارسلان نامدار‎ ‎ ) is a popular Persian epic, which was told to Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar, the Qajar Shah of Persia in the 19th century (though the Persian legend itself is much older), by a storyteller named "Mohammad Ali Naqib al-Mamalek" (Persian: میرزا محمدعلی نقیب‌الممالک‎ ‎ ). Mohammad never transcribed the poem himself, but the daughter of the Shah—who also loved the story—eventually transcribed it and preserved it for history.
Ahmad Maymandi Abuʾl-Ḥasan al-Qāsim Aḥmad ibn Ḥasan Maymandī (Persian: ابوالحسن القاسم احمد بن حسن میمندی‎ ‎ ; died 31 December 1032), better known as Ahmad Maymandi (احمد میمندی ; also spelled Maimandi), and also known by his honorific title of Shams al-Kufat (شمس الکفاة ; "sun of the capable ones"), was a Persian "vizier" of the Ghaznavid Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni and the latter's son Mas'ud I of Ghazni.
