In Persian mythology, Bahram Gur is the legendary Sassanian king, renowned as a hunter and lover, credited with the invention of poetry, and a frequent figure in Persian poetry and iconography. He married the seven daughters of the Kings of the Seven Climates, sleeping with a different one each night of the week, and each one telling him a different tale. The tales, telling of natural and fantastic events, are seen in Persian Islamic tradition as symbolic of the purification of the mystic's soul on its way to God.
