THE STORY WHICH WAS VOID
There are different expressions of Şahmeran, one of the most well-known figures of Anatolia and its close geography. One of the most common Shahmaran myths is briefly as follows:
“A young man named Camsab accidentally finds a secret garden. Here, Şahmeran, the queen of the Marans (snakes), gives her information about medicine and medicinal plants. One day, when the ruler of the city fell ill, the vizier said that Şahmeran's meat was needed for his recovery. As a result of Camsab telling his place, Şahmeran is brought to the city and killed. After the Shahmaran is killed, the ruler who eats it gets better, and the vizier who drinks the cooked water dies. In some versions of the story, Camsab is the new vizier, while in others, Camsab, who drinks from Şahmeran, gains his wisdom and becomes Lokman Hekim.
