Abstract :

  The 11th century A. H. is regarded as the age of decline in Iranian myths. In this century, Safavids established a new state in Iran based on shi’ism and Iranian identity. Yet, the mythological elements of Iranian identity were missing in their scheme; and the national myths played no role in that identity formation. Employing this view, the present article tries to examine the poems of Bidel Dehlavi, the prominent poet of Indian school of poetry in Persian language, from mythological point of view.
