Damavand is, as any cursory reading of Persian Literature will indicate, the Mount Olympus of Persian Mythology.
Damāvand is the symbol of Iranian resistance against despotism and foreign rule in Persian poetry and literature. In Zoroastrian texts and mythology, the three-headed dragon Azi Dahaka was chained within Mount Damāvand, there to remain until the end of the world.
