Al-Masudi recounts a story of how Kay Kavus, after building the Tower of Babel, invaded Yemen, The king of Yemen at that time was Chammar, son of Yerâch; he marched against Keykaous and condemned him to a rigorous captivity; but his daughter, Sodâ, having fallen in love with the defeated king, softened his fate and that of his companions in misfortune, without her father's knowledge. After four years of slavery, Kay Kavus was delivered by Rostam, who arrived with 4,000 soldiers and killed Chammar. Kay Kavus then returned to Persia with Sodâ, who had charmed him.
