Abstract :
Abstract: The exaggerated flaunts are so different among various nations and it does matter with taking into account to the cultural and Geographical conditions, and various ethnic beliefs. In Iran and Arab cultures the exaggeration has further objective aspects and usually emerged in physical zooming as Very Height Mountains, deep wells tall athletes, Insatiable overeating and so…on. The distinctions between the exaggerated use of high frequency has been failed. May be the reason behind it, returns to the same famous phrase "say whatever you want if king exists" so Motenabi' Poetry exaggeration, belonged to the scope of praise and worship the kings, which means with the existence of unique art of poetry, the Poet has diminished in his poetry. On the other hand this problem caused to decline Persian Poetry after Firdausi periods. So, Motenabi's poetry, unlike Firdausi's poetry, contained Powerful figures. Sometimes, a lot of bounce in it is found. In fact the accurate consideration in Shahnama exaggeration or Motenabi' poetry should prepare a huge book as the size of Firdausi's Shahnama or the motenabi's poetry court. The main purpose of this investigation, was a kind of attempting to select some valuable subjects with more artistic value and tried to be avoided from failed exaggerated or invaluable subjects. We hope to make them enjoyable for right readers in this field.
