Abstract

'Dokhtar-e naranj va toranj' is one of the most famous Persian tales with many variations and editions and is registered internationally under the code no.408. This story contains some MYTHological motifs.The death and revival of a girl living inside the fruits is one of its motifs reminiscent of VEGETATION GOD. The role of horse, girl’s long hair, and her relationship with water are some other MYTHological evidences in the story. The prevalence of narratives in which a girl comes out of a SOUR ORANGE, BERGAMOT and POMEGRANATE shows that these fruits have MYTHical roots and they used to have an important position in the POPULAR BELIEFS in the past. In fact, they were used as symbols in some customs such as proposal and marriage ceremonies.Sour orange and BERGAMOT were the symbols of happiness and fertility. POMEGRANATE also was the symbol of fertility and blessing. Moreover, it was associated with love and its MYTHs.
