Bozorgmehr son of Bakhtag (Bakhtagan), was the Vezir of Sassanid king Khosrau Anoushirvan dadgar( the Just) (reign 531–578) attested in the literature and legend of Iran. He was a man of exceptional wisdom and sage counsels and later became a characterization of the expression. His name has appeared in some of the important work in Persian literature, most notably in the Shahnameh of Ferdowsi.
Bozorgmehr may have also been the title of Borzu or Borzouyeh, the Hakim of the Sassanid court and sometimes thought to be same person.
Bozorgmehr was first appointed as a tutor to Hormoz, Anoushirvan's son. Bozorgmehr became Vezir when showing great talent and knowledge in politics.
According to Bozorgmehr, the greatest misery for any human is to find out that he has achieved nothing good at the end of his life.
When the king of India sent the chessboard to Iran, Bozorgmehr not only won the Indian ambassador in the game but also invented the backgammon game.
In Shahnameh there are several references to Bozorgmehr, in one case the Roman Emperor sent a puzzle in a box to the Shah of Iran and Bozorgmehr was the only one to solve it.
