Abstract: (2040 Views)
Myths have a special place in preserving the ancient culture and customs of Iran. One of the most important myths common among the native residents of Boyer Ahmad and Dana cities is the myth of the journey of Khosrow, the King of Iran, to Mount Dana, located near the city of Siskhet. The current research is based on the historical-analytical and comparative method, which is based on library studies, documentation and archeology. Considering that the legend of Khosrow's journey can be clearly seen and heard not only in the stories and minds of the people of Boyer Ahmad and Dana, but also in the geographical areas and the names of its places, it is considered one of the major myths. It turns out that not only its substantive affinity can be found in the myths of other nations, but it can also be studied in historical books, especially Ferdowsi's Shahnameh; for this reason, it seems necessary to study the mentioned myth. Therefore, locating the geographical names of the myth of Khosrow was done to answer the following main questions: What are the most important reliable written sources that refer to the myth of the journey of Khosrow to Mount Dana? To what extent can we rely on archaeological evidence about the myth of Khosrow's trip to Mount Dana? In addition to Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, in the first-hand historical sources written by Islamic historians in the third and fourth centuries of Hijri, including Ibn Athir, Hamdallah Mostofi, Hamza Esfahani, and Gardizi, the myth of Khosrow is mentioned from the perspective of a historical event. One of the most important archaeological documents and evidences related to the legend of Khosrow is Tel Khosrow near Yasouj, which was explored by the Austrian archaeologist Hanis Gaube.
