Gordāfarīd[1] (Template:Langx) is one of the heroines of the Shāhnāmeh "The Book of Kings" or "The Epic of Kings", an enormous poetic opus of Persian literature written by Ferdowsi around 1000 AD. She was a champion who fought against Sohrab (another Iranian hero who was the commander of the Turanian army) and delayed the Turanian troops who were marching on Persia. She is a symbol of courage and wisdom for Persian women.
