Historical Background
In Persian mythology, the Roc (also spelled Rukh) was a gigantic bird of such strength, it preyed on elephants for food. It was a large, white-feathered bird. The Roc is most well known from Sindbad the Sailor's encounter with one in One Thousand and One Nights. Some scholars think the Roc is a distorted account of the Aepyornis (also known as the Elephant Bird), a giant (now extinct) 9 foot tall flightless bird from Madagascar, as some early explorers reported these creatures and thought them to be the chicks of larger, yet unseen birds.
