Abstract: 

In the Sāsānid Era, in which religion and kingdom were considered as twin brothers, Sāsānid kings specially after coronation or after victory in wars, endowed royal gifts to fire temples and Zoroastrian temples; this was a proof of their good attitude to old Zoroastrian religion as Iranian national religion. Surprisingly, after his victorious battles, Ardašīr son of Bābak (224-240 A.D), the founder of the Sāsānid kingdom, had sent the severed heads of their rivals in the city of Marv in Khorāsān to fire temple of GODDESS Anāhitā in Estaxr, Fars. The researchers of the history and culture of Sāsānids have not studied this event, and our current knowledge on why Ardašīr son of Bābak had gifted the severed heads of their rivals to GODDESS Anāhitā, is trivial. In this research the connection between Ardašīr and Anāhitā is studied in a broader context and we will see that endowing such gifts to Anāhitā was in accordance with her combative characteristics, due to the fact that in Abān Yašt of Avesta, Anāhitā, besides being the GODDESS of waters and FERTILITY, is the GODDESS of war and fighting, who helped kings and commanders in battles. Ardašīr had gifted the severed heads of their rivals to GODDESS Anāhitā in order to truly praise this GODDESS of war and fighting, the GODDESS who alongside Ahurāmazdā, bestowed kingship to the lineage of Sāsānids.

Abstract: 

Fairy tales are stories in which metaphysical, paranormal and mysterious events take place and there is no exact time and place; everything is spiritual. The Lorestanian story of “Daughter of Daal” is a tale of the “mythical birth” of a girl from an egg and her being raised by Daal (phoenix) in the cave of a Caucasus-like mountain. Daughter of Daal is snared by a hireling hellcat’s deceit, but is finally reborn from inside a calamus by the help of a prince and marries him. In this article, with a mythological approach and by use of library and documental method, stories with similar theme are collected, and the rules governing these kinds of stories, with the objective of explaining common global mythological theme, have been studied. Through analyzing the content, based upon mythological and cryptic elements, and by the help of comparative mythology as well as analyzing mythological and epic narratives of Iran and other nations and ethnos, the writers are to prove that Daughter of Daal is a fairy and a symbol of vegetative god, and finally answer this fundamental question that of Daughter of Daal and other characters of the story, each symbolizes who, and what the theme is trying to convey. Implied answer to these questions and hypotheses is that Daughter of Daal is a GODDESS-mother who is freed from land of daemons to return lushness to dead nature. The hellcat symbolizes settlers of the dark land who do not want to fertilize the earth. The story of Daughter of Daal displays the theme of the contrast between vegetative/aquatic life and drought/death.

Abstract: 

We can begins with Anahita, this ancient Iranian GODDESS mother with various pregnant statues that shows the worship mother of gods from the new stone age in Iran that appears in different forms on the other eras. Mother-Iranian GODDESS in Achaemenian manuscripts named Anahita. The picture of this GODDESS has seen in reliefs and behind the coins with a milled edge crown. Samanid art is kind of continuation of Sasanid art, and for this reason the figures have seen on this potteries affected by Sasanid art. On this essay we consider the woman figure on this era. On the Samanid potteries you can see the FERTILITY symbols like snake, fish, new moon, palm leaf and pomegranate. It seems that women figures have a unique character.

Abstract: 

Iranian artworks such as metal, during the historical periods, reflect the ideas and viewpoints, such as political, economical, and religious ritual. Among this metal work of Sasanian period are due to frequency and variety of designs and considered a paradigm of belief and thought of this era. The figures of womens and If shrewdly pointed out, the figures of the GODDESS Anahita; is one of the greatest groups of motifs depicted on the golden and silver vessels of the Sassanid period. In the containers of this period, arә dvī sū raAnahita as a beautiful woman, half naked, in the middle or in the different directions, with minor painting such as lotus, dogs, fish, eagle, pomegranate, baby, grapes, the jug water and etc. is depicted. current article that considered 23 vessels contain Anahita legend, demonstrated that the objects in the hands of this GODDESS and plant, human and animal motifs in her scene, Somehow, represent descriptions, manifestations and functions that entirely has been spoke about it in avesta. and thus we can say that Sassanid artists wisely choosed this designs with full knowledge about mythical and religious beliefs in same time.

Abstract: 

Due to the written history of urbanization, the City of Bishapur is counted as one of the Sassanid era's valuable examples. Through this city, valuable buildings and monuments were obtained, including the temple of Anahita, hall of Chalipa, eastern and western Ivans (loggias), and related ornaments such as stucco and mosaic. The eastern mosaic Ivan (loggia) is one of the fundamental discoveries and components of the Bishapour royal citadel (Figure 5), built in front of Anahita temple, Valerian palace, and hall of Chalipa. This Ivan has the most sets of intact mosaics. It is believed that the Roman prisoners (captured during the battle of Shahpour I and Valerian) were among the first people to teach the Iranians the art of mosaic imagery. May we emphasize that this story cannot be accepted for certain and requires further research. Today, studying the images on mosaics and comparing them with available historical and religious data gives us a new opportunity to interpret them differently than what our ancestors have been telling us for all these years and centuries. Comparing these images with those engraved on Sasanid plates tells us how Anahita (Persian GODDESS of FERTILITY and wisdom) provides blessings and wisdom for kings and emperors. There is a strong possibility that these mosaics are dated back to Narseh's reign, 7th Sasanid king, and Shahpur I son. The Bishapur eastern mosaic porch (Ivan) is the precious remnant of the Sassanid era in which the greatest amount and most intact mosaics were obtained. The art of creating images using mosaic was pretty much rare in Iran. It is considered that this art found its way to Iran through Roman captivity after the war of ShapurI and Valerian. The study of the mosaic Ivan ornaments is important because it helps us know more about the city's use and historical interventions in it. Neglecting some of the details in motifs and attribution of making these decorations to Roman captives made it necessary to re-examine mosaics and their details. A review of the mosaic motifs and comparing them with historical and religious documents represent a new interpretation that can lead to a more understanding of the construction time and a clearer view of eastern Ivan's role within the royal palace. The purpose of this article is to re-read the mosaic motifs of the eastern Ivan to understand the architectural use of the mosaic Ivan, the possible period of construction, and understanding the story told by mosaics. This historical and descriptive study was conducted by comparing the images and motifs. Based on the results and findings of comparing mosaic motifs with reliefs and the same motifs on dishes and containers, the mosaics' images can be considered a glorious ceremony of giving splendor by the GODDESS Anahita to an important person (Figure 7). But who is this person? Considering the incompleteness of the mosaic motifs in the northwest and southwest fronts of the Ivan, it is impossible to express the person's identity in question (Figure 9). Still, by reviewing historical events and examining the fundamental changes in the art of this period during different years, perhaps a new hypothesis can be put forward about the possibility of building an Ivan by someone other than Shapur I. The first step is to search among the people who showed the most attention towards the GODDESS Anahita and showed her their support. The importance of this GODDESS is evident in the Sassanid Dynasty. But what is the reason for not attributing the mosaics to the Shapur I? With Shapur I's arrival, the image of Anahita was removed from coins and was replaced by Ahura Mazda. While even the quality of implementation of motifs is not the same as the similar examples built by the Romans in Antioch (Figure 4), how can solely because of the presence of Roman captives at Bishapur, assign the construction of mosaics to them? Also, Ivan's space in Bishapour is different from the Ivans in other royal buildings in the Sassanid period (Figure 1). Neither of these two porches is located along the principal axes of the Chalipa Hall. This is so obvious that Girshman does not consider the period of construction of the mosaic Ivan and the hall of Chalipa to be simultaneous. Sarfaraz has also found another layer of red mortar under the mosaic layer of the mosaic courtyard (western mosaic Ivan), which was thought to be the oldest flooring layer. Before examining Anahita's clothing, it is necessary to return to the issue of the dissimilarity of the Ivan with other spaces called Ivan in royal palaces. Lionel Bier believes that the discovered parts are a small part of a larger building. Azarnoush also considers the two buildings of the west and east Ivans along with the Chalipa Hall as a temple for the worship of Anahita. According to this, the Bishapour royal citadel plan was compared with the plan of an important religious complex such as Takht-e Soleiman. The number of similar cases in terms of plan form and the arrangement of spaces and structure is so numerous that the possibility of religious use for Bishapour can be considered probable (Figure 2). Furthermore, during the first Hormozd, Anahita's dress was different on the coins than the clothes in the mosaics of Bishapur. In the coins related to the second Bahram, her crown lacks a bullet above the head. So, the first similarities in the motifs of mosaics with Anahita are visible from the period of Narseh. According to Girshman, in the third century AD, the Sassanids' woolen and silk fabrics rarely had a pattern. We should consider that the use of patterns on the fabric has probably become common with the construction of weaving centers in Khuzestan by Shapur II (Table 1). In terms of clothes, hair, and narrated subjects, mosaics' motifs have tremendous similarities with relief and motifs of coin attributed to the Anahita in the next periods. Also, there are some similarities in the description of the fifth Yasht regarding Anahita's appearance with a piece of the mosaic decorated with the woman lying on the pillow. Therefore, it should be studied in the history between 276 to 379 AD from Bahram II to Shapur II. Finally, by comparing the motifs of Mosaic Ivan with other remaining motifs of the GODDESS Anahita on the coins of the Sassanid period, the motifs attributed to Anahita on the carvings and sculptures discovered from the Arbabi mansion of Hajiabad, it was concluded that the motifs implemented on the mosaics are completely Iranian in terms of faces, clothes, and sitting posture. The weakness in the implementation of the motifs and the method of preparing the Bishapour mosaics is probably due to the implementation of those who learned this art from Roman captives in the past and later performed it at the request of the king. During these 100 years, one of the people who explicitly mentions the GODDESS Anahita is Narseh, Shapur I's son. Since his monarchy has been taken away, he clearly turns to Anahita and receives the ring of power from her (Figure 6). Narseh owes this victory to the GODDESS Anahita's support, so he wants to show the power, glory, and support of Anahita. The best place for this is his hometown, which was established by the order of the powerful Sassanid king, Shapur I. According to the issues mentioned above, it is more likely that the mosaics were made by order of Narseh to thank the GODDESS Anahita and to show her support in a city that is probably a collection for the worship of this GODDESS.

Abstract: 

In his book; Nashvār al Mohāzirah and Akhbār al Mozākerah, Tanoukhi – the judge and Arabic literary writer speaks about a puppet called “Dobārkeh”. This short report shows well how this puppet is made in Baghdad and is placed on the housetop at Nowrouz night-the ritual which is closely tied to the ancient ceremony of new year especially saint marriage. By relying on the evidence gathered from Tanoukhi’s re-interpretation and extra textual signs of New Year in Babylon and puppet rituals of Iran, this paper tries to unveil the nature of “Dobārkeh” and its link to the GODDESS of FERTILITY. The most important result of this research is that Baghdad’s inhabitants hold this ceremony and “Dobārkeh” is the GODDESS of FERTILITY represented in the body of this puppet. Therefore, it is possible to take into account “Dobārkeh” and its rituals in the same vein as Nowrouz theatrical rituals.

Abstract: 

Myth, as subjective truth of the primal man, is reflective of his/her ideals and desires and has shown itself in different forms up till now. Myths have an idealistic aspect which makes the hero appear not as a normal but as a powerful entity and god. Every woman has an archetype of a GODDESS in her inside that guides her morality and character, which is the symbol of her ideals. By employing descriptive-analytical and library methods and considering the myths of matriarchy, the present article tries to show the archetypes that are effective on the behavior of heroines.

Abstract: 

The GODDESS al-’Uzzā is one of the famous Arabian deities in the pre-Islamic era, whose name is also mentioned in the Qur'an (Najm: 19). In some Islamic reports, the destruction of al-’Uzzā has been described in a wonderful way. While most of these traditions describe al-’Uzzā as an idol, in some of them, she appears in the form of a black woman with disheveled hair and is then killed by Muslim soldiers. The main questions of this study are as follows: What is the reason for this altered description and where is the origin of such a forgery? What are the Muslim authors’, reports trying to describe and how does this help to understand the values of deities in Islamic culture?
