As I was speaking about yesterday my friend from Iran introduced me to the Iranian author Ferdowsi who wrote the very famous Shanameh know in English as the Epic of Kings. Ferdowsi was a Persian poet renowned for his works, as well as a peculiar non-affinity to Islam, although he was a Muslim.
You can read the translation here at the Epic of Kings. Also, a bit more about Ferdowsi can be found at Wikipedia, as well as some additional information about the Shanmeh.
