Naqise-ye Hamasi as a Literary Genre And its examples in Persian Poetry

The greatness and fame of Shahnameh has not only had an undeniable effect on the wave of epic poetry in Iran and encourage poets to imitate Ferdowsi, but also it has caused some poets to have little ability to compose epics or In the presence of the Shahnameh, any other epic work was considered worthless by them, to mixing epic with humor and making “Naqise-ye Hamasi”. Based on it, Naqise-ye Hamasi as a suggested title for these works, which bears similarities and differences with mock-epic and burlesque in European literature, is a literary genre in which the supreme style of the epic is imitated to express trivial issues.The earliest examples of these artifacts can be seen in ancient Greece. By imitating the epic poems of ancient Greece and Rome, like Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Virgilio's Eneida, in Europe in recent centuries prominent mock- epic Have been composed by Alexander Pope, Scarron, Trumbull and Barlow. However, in comparison with European mock-epics, funny epics in Persian literature are weak, but examples of Naqise-ye Hamasi Can be found in works of Obayd Zakani, Boshagh Atáme, Nezam Qari, Nazoki Hamedani, Yaqma Gandaghi etc. It was also natural that with the spread of new poetry in the last hundred years of Iran, Naqise-ye Hamasi be created in a new form. These parodies can be recognized as “Naqise-ye Hamasi Nimai” or “Naqise-ye Hamasi Azad”.
