Zāl & Rudabeh

By Vyacheslav Zabelin|St Petersburg, Russia|

The legend of Rudabeh and Zal is similar to the Rapunzel story in German folklore. When Zal came to visit his beloved in her tower, she offered him her hair so that he could use it to climb up. To avoid hurting Rudabeh, Zal used a ladder.VIK's Rudabeh looks more like a Greek semi-goddess Helen of Troy, symbol of beauty with an apple in her hand
