Abstract

The myth of ARASH THE ARCHER is rooted in a miraculous cow which determined the border of Iran and Turan, and whose soul, after death, emerged out of his body and found its way to Ahuras court. Afrasiab, demon of draught, leaves Turan and trespasses Iran, and destroys springs and rivers, the result is an enmity between the sky and the earth, followed by a long draught. The border between Iran and Turan thus needs to be marked by an arrow shot. Arash is chosen for this great task. He places his soul in the arrow, while his body helps his soul to reach the primary borderline. Assisted by Ahura and angles, the arrow reaches the border of Iran and Turan. The result is an incredible reconciliation of the sky and the earth followed by a rainfall. TIRGAN FESTIVITY is held each year to celebrate this great day of rain.
