Amir Arsalan
''Amir Arsalan-e Namdar'' ( fa, امیر ارسلان نامدار) is a popular Persian epic, which was told to Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar, the Qajar Shah of Persia in the 19th century (though the Persian legend itself is much older), by a storyteller named ''Mohammad Ali Naqib ol-Mamalek'' ( fa, میرزا محمدعلی نقیبالممالک). Mohammad never transcribed the poem himself, but the daughter of the Shah—who also loved the story—eventually transcribed it and preserved it for posterity. Plot The epic narrates the adventures of its protagonist, Arsalan. The story begins with the ''Banu (lady) of Rûm, Roum'' (the Arabian-Parsi name for Eastern ''Roman'' Empire or also known as Constantinople).

Persian Literature
Persian literature ( fa, ادبیات فارسی, Adabiyâte fârsi, ) comprises oral compositions and written texts in the Persian language and is one of the world's oldest literatures. It spans over two-and-a-half millennia. Its sources have been within Greater Iran including present-day Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Caucasus, and Turkey, regions of Central Asia (such as Tajikistan) and South Asia where the Persian language has historically been either the native or official language. For example, Rumi, one of the best-loved Persian poets, born in Balkh (in modern-day Afghanistan) or Wakhsh (in modern-day Tajikistan), wrote in Persian and lived in Konya (in modern-day Turkey), at that time the capital of the Seljuks in Anatolia. The Ghaznavids conquered large territories in Central and South Asia and adopted Persian as their court language. There is thus Persian literature from Iran, Mesopotamia, Azerbaijan, the wider Caucasus, Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Tajikist ...

Fantasy television programs are often based on tales from mythology and folklore, or are adapted from fantasy stories in other media.

Nevertheless, some critics classify certain children's programs that feature traditional fantasy elements such as barbarian ...
