Myth of the remembrance and forgetting in Persian Parables and Allegories
Author(s):
Abstract:
Myth of remembrance and forgetting is one of several kinds of myths which can be found in different tribes and civilizations. Mircea Eliade is a Romanian religious researcher who has mentioned this myth in his papers and has introduced many examples of it among Greece, Hindus, Gnostics, and Manicheans. Song of Pearl is a Gnostic work and is a perfect example of this myth in which the remembrance and forgetting is much similar to an Indian story called: Matsinderanat & Gorakhnat and the parable of Attars poem called: Sheikh Sanaan & Dokhtar-e-Tarsa.
Since the sources of the stories of Ibn-e-Sina and Sohrevardi are the Hermes and Gnostic wisdom, we can see examples of this myth in their stories. In this paper, we try to elaborate and compare the myth of remembrance and forgetting as a Gnostic myth in Persian allegories. The stories of Hay-ibn-Yagzan, Salaman & Absal, Resal-olTeir, and Einieh Ode from Ibn-e-Sina, and stories of Red Reason, Sohrevardis Story of Alghorbat-al-Gharbieh and Story of Prince who were deceived By witch from Rumis Masnavi are the examples being studied in this paper.
