In Persian mythology, peris (singular: peri; from Persian: پَری, romanized: parī, Persian pronunciation: [pæɾiː], plural پريان pariyān, Persian pronunciation: [pæɾijɒːn]; borrowed in European languages through Ottoman Turkish: پَری, romanized: peri) are exquisite, winged spirits renowned for their beauty. Peris were later adopted by other cultures. They are described as mischievous beings that have been denied entry to paradise until they have completed penance for atonement. Under Islamic influence, Peris became benevolent spirits, in contrast to the mischievous jinn and evil divs (demons). Scholar indicates an Indo-Iranian origin for the character, who was later integrated into the Arab Houri tale tradition.
