The simurgh (/sɪˈmɜːrɡ/; Persian: سیمرغ, also spelled senmurv, simorgh, simorg, simurg, simoorg, simorq or simourv) is a benevolent bird in Persian mythology and literature. It bears some similarities with mythological birds from different origins, such as the phoenix (Persian: ققنوسquqnūs) and the humā (Persian: هما).[2] The figure can be found in all periods of Iranian art and literature and is also evident in the iconography of Georgia,[3] medieval Armenia,[4] the Eastern Roman Empire,[5] and other regions that were within the realm of Persian cultural influence.
