Nastihan (Persian: نستیهن) is a Turanian hero who was involved in theIran-Turan wars. He fled from the Battle of Homavn.Afrasiab sent Nastihan to the Iranian war after killing his other sonHouman with 10,000 men.
Nastihan, like his brothers, left after the Iran-Turan war. His presence began whenSiyâvash became a refugee inTuran. Siyâvash was received with open arms in Turan and was shown respect at the festive occasion he attended. In theChovgan game between the Siyâvash andAfrasiab supporters, Nastihan is one of the Afrasiab supporters.
The war in the story of Davazdah Rokh is the only war in which Iranians did not understand the language of their enemies, resulting in the need for an interpreter. During the war, as described byDavazdah Rokh, the translator reported thatHouman, the brother ofPiran, challenged the Iranian forces to one-on-one combat and died at the hands ofBizhan.
Nastihan camped on Mount Zebed with 10,000 troops, fighting against SepahsalarKay Khosrow andGoudarz the chief commander. Bizhan, when he saw aViseh flag in Nastihan's hand, targeted and killed him.
