The Reign of Kavus

It was in those happy days of King Kavus, when he conquered Sudan, Egypt, and Abyssinia. Sudabeh, the daughter of the ruler, was carried across the sea to the valiant king. Amasis, a Pharaoh of Egyptian blood, called Forohel his master. And there was Zangeh of Shavaran, king of the Zang, who rode with the king to war. By his hand the throne of the Pharaohs was brought low, and all the Egyptians fell under his power. He drew a gleaming dagger and tore open the heart of Apis, the bull they called Bughash and worshipped as their greatest god, standing before it night and day. It is the same old tale that climbed to the sky and aimed its bow and arrow at God himself. If you think carefully on how this began, you will see there was no secret to it but this.
