Abstract
Historical characters are mostly heroes and protagonists that come from epics and romances. One of these characters is Bahram-e-Goor. He is the one that Nezami has best described his life after what Ferdowsi has writen. His justice, bravery and courage, being always cheerful and having a poetic taste, has made Bahram-e-Goor a popular king. The longest story in Shahnameh after the story of Khosrow Anooshirvan is the story of the life of Bahram. Nezami also in a secret challenge with Ferdowsi, has described the life of Bahram in a separate poem called Bahramnameh or Haft Peykar. These two poets have described the life of Bahramin a specific approach. The writers of this article, have analyzed the character of Bahram in the poetry of these two poets.
