Every act of communication is connected to encryption, which refers to any regular and integrated sequence of symbols, words, and letters optionally used to convey concepts. There are two categories of codes, verbal codes and non-verbal codes. Non-verbal codes include codes that relate to physical movements, use of time and space, clothing, makeup, and sounds that are not related to language. In this article, an attempt has been made to examine the story of Rostam and Sohrab by Ferdowsi in terms of non-verbal codes of communication. This is done from an interdisciplinary point of view. As it is found, Ferdowsi has used a wide range of non-verbal codes in this story which give it dynamicity, mobility and truthfulness. The story is also endowed with great effects on the audience, leading to its persuasion. The most frequent and prominent messages taken from non-verbal cues are sadness, anger and battle, which are in perfect harmony with the tragic-epical nature of the story. In this paper, the non-verbal instances of communication in the Rostam and Sohrab story are identified and examined by a descriptive-analytical method. The corresponding diagrams and frequencies are also presented.

The magnificent story of Rostam & Sohrab, which has been truly considered as one of greatest stories of the Shahnameh Epic, has attracted a wide audience of diverse status and background including serious researchers and instructors of this masterpiece. Among the one thousand verses or so, a number of verses have specially provided challenges for the interpreters of the great work of Iranian literature. Naturally, providing a full critical account of the viewpoints concerning all the challenging verses goes much beyond the scope of this paper. Hence, this paper addresses the existing critical comments on the very first two verses of the story. To this end, first, after stating the problem and briefing the background, we proceed to an evaluation of these views based on a clear typology of them prepared for the purpose of this study. Finally, we argue that there is a long way to go in order to publish a neat version of Shahnameh which is the true representation of Ferdowsi's poems. Furthermore, the existing interpretations are still far from being able to demystify the secrets of Shahnameh.
