A talk about Dastan-e Amir Hamza, a tale hailed as the Iliad and Odyssey of the Persianate world. Ostensibly based on the life and legendary exploits of Prophet Muhammad’s uncle, Hamza ibn Abd-al Muttalib (566-625 C.E.), here is a fantastical world of talismans and jinn, war and jihad, treachery and trickery, and the mightiest force of them all: Fate. Spanning over 46-volumes, this Indo-Persian epic rivals The Arabian Nights. Famed the world over through the Hamzanamaminiature paintings (1562-1577), it speaks to art history, fairy-tale and fantasy studies, literary and critical theory, and translation studies.
