  • Exploring the Symbol of Gavaevodata and the Essence of Siavash in Shāhnāmeh and Its Replication on the Embossments of Persepolis
    Exploring the Symbol of Gavaevodata and the Essence of Siavash in Shāhnāmeh and its Replication on the Embossments of Persepolis Introduction The mythology of each ethnic group is rooted in their initial attitudes and thoughts about creation and the universe. When human science, knowledge and research had not yet begun, and the first man had to calm his troubled mind for his own reasons. The only way he could escape the horror of death was to turn to a supernatural and mythical power. Many words have been said about the meaning and roots of myths. Arab lexicographers consider the term myth in Persian (Ostoreh) as an Arabic word on the weight of "Ofoleh" meaning objects connoting unfounded and wonderful myths and words that have been written (Kazazi , 1993: 1). Myth is a narrative that revives the original reality and satisfies the deep religious need and is a basic element of human civilization; moreover, mythology and storytelling are not in vain in any way (Masoumi, 2009: 19). It is an art, creative and poetic that over time, with the creative power of their imagination, have turned every aspect of human life into a poetic symbol; The aspirations of human beings throughout history have found poetic interpretations during these myths and have been narrated from generation to generation, and over time, have crystallized in the aura of poetic imagination of different generations. In between, myth and epic have a close and fundamental connection with each other. The epic is the product of a myth, and the myth is left to the nurturing mother who breeds the epic and nurtures it on her lap.
