The paper focuses on the analysis of the term Yezdistan (Ēzdīstān) attested in a Yezidi legend , having obvious parallels with the Shahnameh's Tale of Zahhak . It is particularly interesting that this plot does not occur in any of the Kurmanji versions of the Shahnameh ever recorded in Armenia and represents, in fact, a separate legend out of the epic context.
