Abstract

There are few literary works which had not benefited from the treasury of Shahnameh. Among the many reasons why Shahnameh is being consulted for subjects such as praise, defining philosophical and educational issues, mysticism, lyrical themes, making allegories and rhetorical compounds and the like, its function in describing the manifestations of nature stands out the most. Meanwhile in literary domain poets had benefited from the epic and mythological similes for making nature orientated imageries. One of the methods of describing nature is to equate each of the epic and mythological references to the vehicle when confronting nature components. Elements of color, troops, aristocrats, geometrical shape are considered the best common factor between nature manifestations and epic heroes. Following the example of champions’ heroic actions and deeds, direct reference to the main tale, use of binary oppositions, and creating a setting are among the features of these descriptions. The images of mother in mythological similes in Khorasani style are simple, creative, and authentic and is the outcome of direct natural feelings of the poet incited by nature, however in Iraqi style these kind of similes appear with more sentimental feelings, and blend with ambiguity, complexity, verbosity, imitation, and repetition. The purpose of this article is to study the mythological similes in describing each of the nature components in the poetry of certain poets of Khorasani and Iraqi style.
