Abstract: Farr
or Farrah is a concept in Iranian myths. Farr is an endowment or a devine
magnifiecence which one can achieve by reaching perfection. The member of each social
class can have his/ her own Farr. In Iranian myth, these collocations have been
used more than others: devine Farrah, kingly Farrah, Iranian Farrah, Kiani
Farrah, moubadi Farrah , and athletic Farrah. King’s legitimacy and
acceptability were dependent on their magnificence. A legitimate king was a
king who had kingly Farrah or devine Farrah. Farr which can be missed through
pride and hypocrisy, etc only belongs to pure individuals or Iranians. There
are some examples in Iranian myths that the king has missed his legitimacy and
magnificence for pride and big mistakes.
