Peri/ A Research on the Margins of Comparative Mythology مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

From the collection of references related to Peri in the Shahnameh and other Persian books, legends, and folk tales, it appears that in Islamic-era Iran, Peri, as the followers of Zoroastrianism and Mazdayasna believed, is not an ugly and ill-omened being, but is rather conceived as a very beautiful ethereal woman who possesses goodness, beauty, and even luck; she is an exemplar of beauty, grace, and charm, and sometimes, due to her goodness and benefit to people and her beauty, she stands in opposition to the Ahrimanic Div. This inconsistency and duality, which tells of two different mental perceptions regarding a mythical being, led me to investigate Peri and its mythological nature and essence. Nevertheless, the ancient memory of Peri as a goddess who had a close relationship with fulfillment, fertility, and birth has remained in the collective unconscious of the people and is reflected in Persian literature and Iranian folk culture. For more information on this matter, see: (refer to page image) fertility and procreation, which later became the goddesses of fortune and fate in Roman mythology, established a verbal and spiritual connection between - akariap in Avestan and hpmyn in Greek (the equivalent of peri in Greek mythology) in the sense of "young woman and bride. (2)- Regarding the identity of the Greek Hercules with Bahram, the Iranian deity of victory (who in the epic myths is the embodiment of Garshasp Nariman, the national hero of Iran, and was considered his human form), explicit reference is made in the inscription of Antiochus I, the Seleucid king (96-43 BC).
