Fars Mitolojisi Sözlüğü (ciltli)

The most important facts that left their mark on Persian geography and culture are Zoroaster, which influenced the region for centuries until Islam, Avesta, the holy book of Zoroastrianism, and the fire cult. The roots of Persian mythology reflect the beliefs and worship of all the peoples who lived and interacted with each other in that vast land extending from the Black Sea to India. Works such as Dînkerd, Bundehişn, Hudâynâme and Firdevsî's Şahnâme, which preserved Iranian traditions, religious and historical narratives for centuries and transferred them to later ages, and saved many legends in Iranian mythology from extinction, are extremely important sources for Persian mythology. In the light of all this information, the Dictionary of Persian Mythology, which presents Iran's heroic narratives, gods, metaphysical creatures, and the origins of the vast Persian geography and culture, is a real reference source. From God Ahura Mazda's creation of the world to the apocalypse myths, from the Chinvâd bridge to the vineyards of Irem, from Keyûmers, who is considered the first human and the first ruler, to the holy immortals Imşâspends, from Rüstem, the son of Zâl, to Simurg, from Ferîdûn to the eternal life, and included in Firdevsî's famous Shahname. Dictionary of Persian Mythology, which includes many names in the field, is the first study in this field in our country.
