Reliefs of THRONE HALL at PERSEPOLIS almost identified as the symbolic war between king and devils by mest of scholars and vesearch. But this research tries to show that ox or lion had never been the negative and evil definition in ancient Persian culture and we can’t accept them as devils. We tries to proof this hypothesis that this reliefs show the various aspects of king’s character and shows him in the various ceremony like haunting, sacrificing and devils fighting.In ACHAEMENID era kings during battle with animals have two purposes wartimes shows their POWER through Symbolic hunting and during peacetime identified themselves as a source of prosperity and regulating force of nature, people and universe that portrayed through the Symbolic war with Sphinxes.this articale tries to review the images of king from semiotic aspects and shows the various levels of signs as symbol, index or Icon to understand the meaning of each part. The structural viewpoint linked various signs with king’s character and Identity with mythological knowledge of ancient Iran. The results show that pictures should be the symbols of sacred POWER of king, his legitimacy and his character as the enemy of devils and patron of universe order.
