Tahmures (طهمورث)

Tahmures is the third Pishdadian king after his father, Hushang. He is known as the Devil-Binder. Tahmures used magic to defeat Ahriman and made him his slave, even riding upon his back as on a horse. After conquering the demons (divs), he spared some of them. In gratitude, they taught him how to read and write in thirty different scripts, including Roman, Persian, Sogdian, and Chinese. Tahmures introduced many advances to humanity, including shearing sheep, spinning wool, weaving clothes and carpets, and training carnivorous birds like falcons for hunting. King Tahmures dies of natural causes after a reign of 30 years. He was succeeded by his son, the glorious king Jamshid.
