Gordafarid

Gordāfarīd[1] (Persian: گردآفريد) is one of the heroines in the Shāhnāmeh "The Book of Kings" or "The Epic of Kings", an enormous poetic opus written by the Persian poet Hakīm Abū l-Qāsim Ferdowsī Tūsī around 1000 AD.

When she learned that their leader had allowed himself to be taken, she found his behaviour so shameful that her rosy cheeks became as black as pitch with rage.

She roared at the enemy ranks, "Where are your heroes, your warriors, your tried and tested chieftains?"
