The Symbolism of the Sea Myth and its Parallels in Contemporary Persian Poetry (Study case: Nima, Shamlou, Akhavan, Sohrab, Forough)

If today's themes are helped by ancient myths, we have a kind of mythical experience. The sea and its similarities are no exception. The sea represents infinity, life, breadth, depth, saltiness, movement, and the like. Contemporary poetry (especially Nima, Shamlou, Akhavan, Sohrab, and Forough) has referred to this phenomenon and its similarities symbolically. The sea in Persian poetry has a symbolic, mythical, religious, literary, romantic and mystical meaning that its understanding is important to realize the infrastructure of poet's thought. Nima separates the two vulnerable and affluent strata of society by the shoreline of the secrets sea. In Shamlou's Animism, the negative myth of the reincarnation of the evil spirit in human existence is mentioned as the breaking and conquest of the sea. Shamlou mentions the self-knowledge myth of the first human as diving at sea. Akhavan's poetry has been expressed in a magnificent, mythical, traditionalist, symbolic way and with a bitter and negative view on the contemporary society. Sohrab is more involved in the mythical symbolism of water and sea than the other poets mentioned above. Forough's new interpretations of the mythical expression of sea are expressed in a surreal tone
