家园 伊朗百科全书上记载了几个关于世祖的故事

伊朗百科全书上记载了几个关于世祖的故事,本想在尤利安战役之后写的,既然你写了,我就贴一下,英文的,我就不翻译了:

Another legendary story has to do with Shapur’s journey in disguise to the Roman empire to gauge the power of the enemy. He is recognized and then imprisoned in the skin of an ass in a dungeon, and the key is kept by Caesar’s wife (āh-nāma VII, pp. 228-29). The queen’s maid, who is of Persian descent, softens the skin with milk and escapes with the king to Persia. While Caesar is laying siege to Ctesiphon, Shapur and 6,000 men attack the drunken Roman ruler and his troops at night (ibid., VII, pp. 238-40). Caesar is imprisoned, his ear and nose are cut off, and he dies in prison (ibid., VII, pp. 244-45). The two stories have similarities:

(1) Shapur is handsome, and beautiful maidens residing with the enemy facilitate his escape;

(2) the maidens are of Persian origin, hence their loyalty lies with their homeland;

(3) In the jaws of defeat the king is able to turn things around and defeat his enemies with intelligence and bravery.
