Legend of Shahmaran:
"Shahmaran is a mythical creature, half snake and half woman, the first human she encounters is a young man named Camasb (also known as Yada Jamsab, Jamisav, Jamasp in other versions of the story).Camasb gets stuck in a cave after he tries to steal honey with a few friends, his friends leave him alone in the cave.He decides to explore the cave and finds a passage to a chamber that looks like a mystical and beautiful garden with thousands of off-white colored snakes and the Shahmaran living together harmoniously.At this point Shahmaran and Camasb fall in love and live in the cave chamber, and the Shahmaran teaches him about medicines and medicinal herbs.Camasb misses living above ground and wants to leave, he tells the Shahmaran he will not share the secret of her living there.Many years pass. The king of the town of Tarsus becomes ill and the vizier discovers the treatment of his condition requires the Shahmaran flesh.Camasb tells the towns people where Shahmaran lives.They bring her to the town and kill her in a bath called, "?ahmaran Hamam".According to the legend Shahmaran said, "Boil my head and let the sultan drink, let the sultan be saved, let the vizier drink my body and die. Boil my tail and drink it." Camasb did what Shahmaran said; he killed the vizier, saved the sultan, and Camasb became a lokman physician. The two snakes wrapped around the staff used today are thought to come from the wisdom of Shahmaran in the field of medicine and Lokman Hekim."
