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.

Abstract
For Kristeva, each text is the result of its preceding textual network. Hence, to decode a text, one must consider this textual network. Authors and poets have always benefited from previous texts. This is sometimes done as legendism which is nothing but rewriting and recreating legends, and does not help literature much. However, “trans-legendism” has a different approach that can be a cause of literary transformation. Trans-legendism does not just refer to legends by way of allusion and referencing but transforms the past texts by employing intertextuality to the point that the reader cannot easily recognize what texts and legends have been used in the formation of the new text. In the novel Spells, we are faced with three methods: legend-telling, legendism, and trans-legendism. In The Blind Owl, too, the writer has transformed the text of the past through the use of multiple legends and myths. This article investigated the two novels based on trans-legendism or legendary intertextuality. This study concluded that both novels have benefitted from legends even in opposition to legends.
