Abstract
One of the themes of romances is the fighting of the beloved. In Iran's mythical and legendary history names of women and mistresses like Golshah, Sarvkharaman, Gordafarid, Azra, and Sanambar are found who used to come to the battle field with their lover sand defend them like a male warrior. Such actions are extant in the greate pics or their reproduction and they have been so frequently repeated in romances that they have been turned in to regular themes. In this article the researcher attempts to introduce these poems and their beloveds and show the actions of the female warriors. Ten Stories are studied in this article, including Bano Goshasb Nameh, Rabe’e and Baktash, Sohrab and Gordafarid, The Iranian Princess in Thousand and One Nights, Heydarbeyk and Samanbar, The Killer Hero, Gordiehand Khosrow Parviz, Varghe and Golshah, Vamegh and Azra, Homay and Homayoun.

Abstract
For Kristeva all texts are results of a textual network before themselves. So, in order for decoding a text, one must take the textual network into consideration. Authors and poets have always benefited from texts before themselves. This is sometimes done as legendism which is nothing but a kind of rewriting and recreating legends and does not help literature much. However, “legend-turning” has another approach which can be a cause for literary evolution. Legend-turning does not just refer to legends in a manner of allusion and referencing, but deconstructs the texts of the past by employing intertextuality to the point that the reader cannot easily recognize what texts and legends have been used in the formation of a piece of text. In the novel Spells, we are faced with three methods: Legend-telling, legendism, and legend-turning. In The Blind Owl, too, the writer has deconstructed the text of the past through use of multiple legends and myths. A conclusion of this study is that both novels have benefitted from legends in opposition to legends. This article examines the two novels based on legend-turning or legendary intertextuality.
