Vis and Rāmin is a classical Persian romantic tale. The epic was composed in poetry by Fakhruddin As'ad Gurgani in the 11th century. Gorgani claimed it had a Sasanian origin, but it is now regarded to be of Parthian origin, probably from the 1st century AD. It has also been suggested that Gorgani's tale reflects the traditions and customs of the era immediately before he himself lived. That cannot be ruled out, as stories retold from ancient sources often include elements drawn from the times of their narrators.— Wikipedia
