چکیده:
From the middle of the first millennium BC, there witnessed a gradual bilateral
relation between Iranians and Greeks. These people to people attachments also
resulted in interactive influences between these two cultures and arts.
Qualitative and quantitative investigation on these interactions is a basic issue in
identifying both cultures.
The current paper, among all miscellaneous influences of Hellenism on the
culture and the art of the Parthian realm, attempts to analyze only the
influences of basics and rules of the Greek aestheticism on the Parthian
sculpture and come to a historical conclusion based on an inductive method.

"In other words, the form and the structure of every artwork are comprised of following elements: A) The visual elements including line, color, tonal value or chiaroscuro, shape, context and space B) The composition rules or bases including harmony, diversity, balance, contrast, predominance/concentration point, rhythm or repetition, creating diversity in the rhythm, motion, conformity/scale Studying the art of the Parthian Era shows that the appearance of some new form-related characteristics in the sculpture of this era has not been the offspring of the creativity of the local artists, but it has been the influence of the inspirations from the Hellenic world.
The other issue to mention is this that in the statues at Hatra, in addition to contraposto, the standing position with the left foot ahead, that is of Egyptian origin and has influenced the Parthian works via the Greek art, can be observed.
In the latter Parthian art, this influence of the Greek art can be observed clearly in the statue of Hermes at Niniveh, the bronze statue at Shami (Fig. 16), the marble statuette at Susa (Fig. 17), the statue of Abigid at Hatra, the statue of standing man at Sumatar-Harabesi near Edessa in the Northern Mesopotamia, some of the statues at Masjid-i Solaiman (Fig. 18), the reliefs of CN (Fig. 19), Ana (Fig. 20) and BW at Tang-i Sarvak, the four standing persons at Hung-e Azhdar (Hung-i Nouroozi) (Fig. 3), and some other Parthian statues."
