زمینه‌های تاریخی داستان نبرد رستم و کاموس کشانی در شاهنامه

روایات شاهنامه به صورت غیرمستقیم برگرفته از خداینامه های ساسانی و دیگر منابع پراکندۀ این دوره هستند که خود در طول دورۀ ساسانی تحت تاثیر برخی خاندان های صاحب نفوذ پرداخته شده اند و بازتابندۀ تاریخ ایران باستان تحت تاثیر نگاه حماسی و اسطوره ای ایرانیان به تاریخ هستند. داستان نبرد رستم و کاموس کشانی یکی از این روایات است که ریشه در تاریخ دورۀ اشکانی دارد. پرسش اصلی پژوهش حاضر این است که داستان نبرد رستم و کاموس کشانی در شاهنامه از چه زمینۀ تاریخی برخوردار است؟ یافته های این مقاله نشان خواهند داد که این داستان بازتابی از نبرد اشکانیان و کوشانیان در زمان بلاش چهارم و کانیشکا است که با دلاوری خاندان سورن در سیستان و خاندان گودرز در گرگان در نهایت به سود ایرانیان پایان یافت. اعمال خاندان سورن در این رویداد بعدها به شخصیت رستم منتسب شد، اعمال گودرزیان به سردودمان آنان گودرز کشواد نسبت داده شد و نام کانیشکا با تلفظ کاموس وارد تاریخ ملی ایران شد.

the historical background of the story of the battle of rostam and kamus-e keshani in shahnameh

the narratives of the shahnameh are indirectly taken from the sassanid xwadāy-nāmags and other scattered sources of this period, which were themselves made during the sassanid period under the influence of some influential families and reflect the history of ancient iran under the influence of the epic and mythological view of iranians to history. the story of the battle between rostam and kamus-e keshani is one of these traditions that has its roots in the history of the arshakid period. the main question of the current research is, what is the historical background of the story of the battle between rostam and kamus-e keshani in shahnameh? the findings of this article will show that this story is a reflection of the battle between the arshakids and the kushans during the time of balash iv and kanishka, which ended in favor of the iranians with the bravery of the suren family in sistan and the gudarz family in gorgan. the actions of the suren family in this event were later attributed to the personality of rostam, the actions of the gudarzians were attributed to their ancestor, and the name of kanishka entered to the national history of iran with the pronunciation of kamus. keywords: arshakids, kushanids, indo-parthians, rostam, kamus. introduction:shahnameh is one of the most prominent epic works in world literature that rewrites the history of pre-islamic iran according to the understanding of iranians in the late sassanid period and the early islamic period from ancient times. various researchers have given different opinions about the sources used by ferdowsi in writing the shahnameh; but it is clear that ferdowsi has used not only written sources but also oral sources to complete his work. ferdowsi’s most important source for writing his work was abu mansouri’s prose shahnameh, which itself relied on the sasanian era’s xwadāy-nāmag tradition. therefore, the shahnameh is directly or indirectly influenced by the historiography of the sasanian period, and this historiography, which was completed in several stages, relied more on the epic and religious framework that the authors of the sasanian xwadāy-nāmags used them according to the needs of the day. materials and methods:the main source of the current research is the story of the battle between rostam and kamos-e keshani in the shahnameh, which ferdowsi or his main source abu mansouri probably took and added to their work as a complete and separate story. in addition to the data of shahnameh, some other islamic sources such as tabari have also mentioned the mentioned story, which can be used to complete the article.
