Tahmuras Rides Bound Ahriman

From A3.1, The Reign of Tahmuras. It illustrates A3.1.24–26:

  • A3.1.24
    He taught the king all virtue to embrace,Till farr divine shone from Tahmuras’ face.
  • A3.1.25
    The king bound Ahriman by magic’s spell,And rode him like a steed he governed well.
  • A3.1.26
    At times he saddled him and rode aroundThe world, from distant plain to distant ground.
