Abstract
When Firdowsi describes Key-khosrow's second war on Turan in the Shahnameh, he has composed a distich in which the moon was illustrated like a victorious king sitting on a turquoise throne. This simile has been repeated in other sections of the Shahnameh and other literary writings. The aim of this paper is to use epic, and historical and literary writings to prove that turquoise throne belonged to Feredun. Feredun was an ideal king of people who used "victorious king" as one of his adjectives. This adjective along was gradually used by different authors instead of using his name. So this adjective with his throne was considered as a portion of a simile used by poets.
