خلاصة:
In narratives and fictional poems of Persian literature, warrior and independent women are mentioned, who lived together as a group and away from men, and took control of their own lives. These women are seen in most of the Eskandarnamehs. There is a brief reference to it in the Samnameh. This article attempts to investigate the story of Women's Town (Shahr-e zanan), which is a recurring theme in fictional literature, in various texts along with the Samnameh. For this purpose, it attempts to study the manifestation and appearance of this city among the works in question and analyze the features, foundations and themes presented in them and compare these cases with the features and themes explained in the Samnameh and clarify their similiarities and differences or the similarities or differences in the origin of these narrations. Ultimately, what follows can be summarized as follows: In Women's Town of other texts (Eskandarnamehs), there is no lustful desire on the side of the hero of the story, but in the Women's Town of Samnameh the lustful desires of the women and fairies of this city are exaggerated. The origins and roots of this story can be traced back to more than the Eskandarnamehs and Amazons in the Greek and Roman mythology. And consequently, the foundation of this story was traced in Iranian mythology, or eventually considered as a combination of Iranian and Greek mythology; both of which are debatable.

Among the research conducted in this regard, the following articles can be mentioned: - "A Comparative Study of the Story of the City of Women in the Iskandarnama of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh and the Iskandarnama of Nizami, with Ancient Greek Myths and Utopian Stories" which was conducted in 1385 by Maryam Hosseini.
The Footprint of the City of Women in the Historical and Cultural Tradition of Iran In the stories of the City of Women in Persian literature, all of which, except for the Sam Nameh, are related to the circumstances of Alexander (meaning hero); meaning the hero of the story arises from the geographical context of Iran and reaches the land of the Peris in northwestern Iran; a land that, according to archaeological findings has been located in northeastern Iran under the name "Prikani," and in these stories, a geographical shift occurs to achieve compatibility and harmony with Greek myths and the narrative background of the Alexander story, such that Alexander reaches it in Bardae (Herum) Caucasus (the place of the Amazons), in the northwestern region of Iran (Malekzadeh, 1381: 153).
This people and tribe, who apparently worshipped the Peris (whether Iranian or non-Iranian), are apparently the "Prikani" tribe we are considering; due to their matriarchal beliefs which were contrary to the patriarchal culture prevailing in society, they became the origin of the City of Women story and established a specific theme for narrative literature.
