Abstract
The Shahnameh of Ferdowsi comprises a collection of Iranian customs, traditions, myths, culture, principles of governance, history, and pre-Islamic elements of the Iranian plateau. Its artistic value and expression have been among the most significant reasons for the enduring presence of such concepts among the inhabitants of this region. Throughout history, this influence has significantly impacted not only cultural dimensions but also the practices of statecraft. Given that the boundaries between history, epic, and myth have not been clearly defined up to contemporary times, the image of the ideal king and epic heroes created a need in public consciousness that historians, poets, and other propagandists of each dynasty or ruler had to address. At the beginning of the Safavid period, the remarkable influence of the Shahnameh on both the people and Shah Ismail led a historian like Amini Heravi to sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously adhere to the characteristics and functions of the epic heroes when describing the king. Simultaneously, by imitating and drawing from the rhetorical and narrative style of the Shahnameh, he sought to portray Shah Ismail as an ideal king in his work "Futuhat-e Shahi."
