Abstract

myths represent the culture and way of thinking of people in ancient times; Language is a historical narrative from prehistoric times; It is the voice for precious relics that are extracted from the heart of earth or amongst rocks and mountains. myths represent the continuity of the cultural life of a nation and characterize its history (Amoozgar, 2009: 1). Poets and writers have cultivated the myths and beliefs of their ancestors and their works are interrelated to mythologies. The symbol of Gavaevodata created in Zoroastrian cosmology is the name of the first created cow and is one of the six eternal creations of Ahura Mazda in the material world and the mythical father of all beneficial animals. This cow is slaughtered in the myth of creation and from its body and face, the world is again filled with creatures; this is similar to the character of Siavash, a positive character with a free and gentle spirit that tragically dies oppressed and innocent. From his blood the sacred plant known as the “ blood of Siavashan” grows that is associated to birth and nurture. In the vast expanse of Iran, reliefs, stone-carvings and lithographs, along with literature are ancient means to preserve mythology. Accordingly, many prominent embossed reliefs have been applied in the Persepolis; hence in this regard the symbol of the cow is abundantly used in the prominent motifs of Persepolis and is interpreted in many connotations. The hidden meanings deep in the layers of embossed patterns and its adaptation to similar cases in literature can generate a more precise representation of the mythical and cultural beliefs of Iran. Research aims: 1-To explore the myth of the Gavaevodata and its relation to the story of Siavash in the Shā hnā meh. 2-To compare the mythical symbols of the embossed reliefs of Persepolis and Ferdowsi's Shā hnā meh. Research questions: 1-What purpose did the myth of the Gavaevodata create in the role of Siavash in Ferdowsi's Shā hnā meh and the embossed motifs of Persepolis? 2-What concepts does the Gavaevodata create in the form of Siavash's character in order to inspire the audience?
