Abstract

The Cup of Jamishid is a mythical symbol which first appeared in Ferdowsi's Shā hnameh, and subsequently frequently in other Persian literary works. This symbol has been heavily employed in mystical and lyrical poetry. Most studies about the significance and origin of this symbol have been either descriptive or quite short and inadequate. For instance, Jalal Khaleqi Motlaq presumed that there is pertinent and direct rapport between The Cup of Jamshid and ― The Covenant of the Universe‖ as two semiotic entities; a presumption that was later confirmed and elaborated by Arash Akbari-Mafakher. In this article, the rapport between the aforementioned semiotic entities is investigated. In order to render this investigation possible, the article utilizes a semiotic set of analytical methodology. In this utilization, the symbolic configurations of both of the semiotic entities are compared to ― The Legend (The Quest) of the Holy Grail‖ and ― The Hymn of the Pearl‖ as two Western semiotic entities. It is believed that the rapport between The Covenant of the Universe – which pertains to a mysterious form of measurement and balance – and The Cup of Jamshid – which is also a symbol of Jamshid‘ s monarchical sovereignty over the world – is the drive behind mankind to further them towards forming civilization. As The Covenant of the Universe is the symbol of measurement and scaling of universal and cosmic truth, The Cup of Jamshid functions as a scrying object.
