THE FAITHFUL PRINCE
_Bahr??mgor_--This tale is a variant in a way of a popular story
published in the Panj??b in various forms in the vernacular, under the
title of the _Story of Bahr??mgor and the Fairy Hasan B??no_. The
person meant is no doubt Bahr??mgor, the Sassanian King of Persia,
known to the Greeks as Varanes V., who reigned 420-438 A.D. The
modern stories, highly coloured with local folklore, represent the
well-known tale in India--through the Persian--of _Bahr??mgor and
Dil??r??m_. Bahr??mgor was said to have been killed while hunting the
wild ass (_gor_), by jumping into a pool after it, when both
quarry and huntsman disappeared for ever. He is said to be the father
of Persian poetry.
