* Sunpadh or Sinbad the Magus

Sunpadh or Sinbad or Sinbad the Magus ( Persian and, died 755 ) was a Persian cleric from a small village called Āhan near Nishapur who incited an uprising against the Abbasid Caliphate in the 8th century.

* Sunpadh, the revolting Persian cleric is killed near Hamedan during the battle with Mansur's army.

He became a legendary figure for many in Persia, and several Persian heretics started revolts claiming he had not died and would return ; the latter included his own propagandist Ishaq al-Turk, the Zoroastrian cleric Sunpadh in Nishapur, the Abu Muslimiyya subsect of the Kaysanites Shia, and al-Muqanna in Khorasan.

The sect was founded by the Persian cleric Sunpadh and was a revitalization of an earlier sect that had mixed Shī ‘ a Islam and Zoroastrianism ; however, its true claim to fame was its adoption by Bābak Khorramdin as a basis for rebelling against the Abbasid Caliphate.

Sunpadh was a friend and confidant of the Persian general Abu Muslim Khorasani, who had begun the Abbasid revolt in 747.

* Khurramites, a 9th century religious and political movement based on the 8th century teachings of Sunpadh, who preached a syncretism of Shia Islam and Zoroastrianism.

These included It Came From Beneath The Sea ( 1955 ), Jason and the Argonauts ( 1963 ), The Golden Voyage of Sinbad ( 1974 ) and Clash Of The Titans ( 1981 ).

Film roles included Klove in Scars of Dracula ( 1970 ), a bodysnatcher in " frankenstein and the monster from hell " ( 1973 ), Father Brennan in The Omen ( 1976 ) and Melanthius in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger ( 1977 ).

Apart from being the composer's fourth collaboration with Ray Harryhausen ( The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, The Three Worlds of Gulliver and Mysterious Island, made in 1958, 1960, and 1961 respectively ), Herrmann also wrote the music to Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Among his most notable works are his animation on Mighty Joe Young ( with pioneer Willis O ' Brien, which won the Academy Award for special effects ) ( 1949 ), The 7th Voyage of Sinbad ( his first color film ) and Jason and the Argonauts, featuring a famous sword fight against seven skeleton warriors.

Reluctant at first, Harryhausen managed to develop the systems necessary to maintain proper color balances for his DynaMation process, resulting in his greatest masterpiece ( and biggest hit ) of the 50s, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad ( 1958 ), a major inspiration for Dennis Muren, decades later a long-time multi-Oscar-winning head of George Lucas ' Industrial Light and Magic special effects company.

It was followed by Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger ( 1977 ), which disappointed some fans because of its tongue-in-cheek approach.

It covers the story of Sinbad ( voiced by Brad Pitt ), a pirate who travels the sea to recover the lost Book of Peace from Eris ( voiced by Michelle Pfeiffer ) in order to save his childhood friend, Prince Proteus ( voiced by Joseph Fiennes ), from accepting Sinbad's death sentence.

Sinbad hatches a plan to blind the beast ( again, obvious parallels with the story of Polyphemus in Homer's Odyssey ), with the two red-hot iron spits with which the monster has been kebabing and roasting the ship's company.

After further adventures ( including a gigantic python from which Sinbad escapes thanks to his quick wits ), he returns to Baghdad, wealthier than ever.

He worked steadily and appeared in over 100 films including The Princess and the Pirate ( 1944 ), The Spanish Main ( 1945 ), Sinbad the Sailor ( 1947 ), Born to Kill ( 1947 ), People Will Talk ( 1951 ), and Call Me Madam ( 1953 ).

Such descriptions doubtless captured the imaginations of later illustrators, such as Johannes Stradanus ca 1590 or Theodor de Bry in 1594 who showed an elephant being carried off in the roc's talons, or showed the roc destroying entire ships in revenge for destruction of its giant egg, as recounted in the fifth voyage of Sinbad the Sailor.

Returning to Jamaica, his Youth Promotion sound system performed regularly in Kingston's Maxfield Park, featuring Jah Stitch and newcomers who had been nurtured by his organization such as Ranking Joe, Captain Sinbad, and Ranking Dread.

The score was composed by Bernard Herrmann, who also worked on other fantasy films with Harryhausen, such as Mysterious Island and The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.

Sinbad releases the dragon who goes on to defeat the Cyclops in the ensuing battle by biting its neck.

The soundtrack producer Robert Townson, who re-recorded the score in 1998 with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, described the music as rich and vibrant, commenting " I would cite The 7th Voyage of Sinbad as one of the scores which most validates film music as an art form and a forum where a great composer can write a great piece of music.

Drawn underwater by Cetus, Sinbad is saved by Eris, the beautiful goddess of discord, who offers him any boon he desires in exchange for the Book of Peace.

To prevent them, Eris sends a group of sirens, who entrance and seduce the men aboard Sinbad's ship with their enchantingly seductive, soft melodic singing voices, but do not affect Marina, who pilots the ship to safety ; and later a Roc, who captures Marina, but is later killed by Sinbad.

Sinbad the Sailor ( also spelled Sindbad ; Arabic: السندباد البحري as-Sindibād al-Baḥri ; Persian: سندباد Sandbād ) is a fictional sailor and the hero of a story-cycle of Middle Eastern origin who hails from Basrah, living during the Abbasid Caliphate.

Like the 1001 Nights the Sinbad story-cycle has a frame story, which goes as follows: in the days of Haroun al-Rashid, Caliph of Baghdad, a poor porter ( one who carries goods for others in the market and throughout the city ) pauses to rest on a bench outside the gate of a rich merchant's house, where he complains to Allah about the injustice of a world which allows the rich to live in ease while he must toil and yet remain poor.

Shipwrecked yet again, Sinbad is enslaved by the Old Man of the Sea, who rides on his shoulders with his legs twisted round Sinbad's neck and will not let go, riding him both day and night until Sinbad would welcome death.

The bird-people are angry with Sinbad and set him down on a mountain-top, where he meets two youths who are the servants of God and who give him a golden staff ; returning to the city, Sinbad learns from his wife that the bird-men are devils, although she and her father are not of their number.

Many films, television series, animated cartoons, novels, and video games have been made, featuring Sinbad not as a merchant who happens to stumble into adventures, but as a dashing dare-devil adventure-seeker.
