Ferdows, who has been convicted of murder and sentenced to death, is one of at least 20 Tehran women accused of murdering their husbands since February.
Ferdows paid a man the equivalent of $3,750 to stab her husband to death three years ago, prosecutors said.
Both Ferdows and the hit man were convicted and sentenced at a closed trial in April.
In fact, Ferdows^ indicates in quite a number of passages that his poem is based on an "old book," that is to say, on one or more sources written in New Persian prose.
By contrast, the passages in which the poet appears to invoke oral informants can be shown to go back to his written sources; in other words, when the poet says that he has "heard" a story from such-and-such a person, he is merely repeating in verse what his source had already said in prose.
Where Ferdows^, like all the other early epic poets, tells his story in a straightforward and deceptively simple manner, Nezáa@m^ spins an elaborate web of rhetorical conceits and learned allusions, often hinting at his story more than actually telling it.
