Who leads a revolution when the gods stay silent and the princes look away? In this episode, we follow Kaveh the Blacksmith, an ordinary craftsman whose grief over his murdered sons ignites an uprising against the serpent-shouldered tyrant Zahāk. From a torn leather apron raised as a banner to the mountain refuge where a future king waits, Kaveh’s story traces how raw rage becomes a symbol claimed by empires, rebels, and Kurds alike. This is not a tale of chosen heroes, but of people who decide that fear has had the last word for long enough, in myth and memory.
