Notlar	Kay Kavus attempts to fly, from the Book of Kings (Shahnama) by Firdausi. Firdausi's epic Book of Kings was composed c. 1010, and tells in Persian verse the mythical histories of fifty kings and queens from ancient pre-Islamic Iran. The stories blend historical figures and events with dramatic legend, featuring superhuman heroes, supernatural monsters and kings of variable quality. Depicted here is the unwise Kay Kavus, a king who makes several poor decisions throughout his reign, to the despair of his nobles. Tempted to fly, he orders a contraption built with four tame eagles strapped to it, and takes off in it. The flying throne works for a short time, but the king eventually crashes unhurt in the remote countryside.
