It is mentioned that Milad was a Persian hero in "The Book of Kings". Milad was a legendary Persian prince from the earliest days of the Iranian Empire. In the 12th story of Shahnameh, he is resurrected as the Zoroastrian God of Spirit, and goes on to play a prominent part in the story.[citation needed] There is a similar word 'Moalada' in Aramaic, but this is derived from the archaic Arabic 'Moalada'.
