The Transformation of the Character of Simorgh in Works of Classical Persian Literature
 Pokorná, Mariana ; Kříhová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Novák, Ľubomír (referee)
(English) This diploma thesis focuses on different depictions of Simorgh, a significant literary character of classical Persian literature. This mythical bird will be examined in the Shahnameh of Abolqasem Ferdousi (940-1020) and the Mantiqu't-tayr of Fariduddin Attar (1145-1221) as well as in the Avesta, the holy book of Zoroastrianism, in which an archetype of this character can be found. These three portrayals of Simorgh will be analysed with focus on the changes of the character, which occurred during its transformation from a Zoroastrian mythical creature to a frequently used motive of Persian literature. The underlying question of the theses is whether the mythical functions of the Avestan archetype were preserved in its literary adaptations in the Shahnameh and Mantiqu't-tayr. The two literary works originated in very different periods in the history of Iran. Therefore, this thesis further aims to analyse how this fact affected the transformation of Simorgh. Last but not least, a description of Simorgh as both a Zoroastrian character and a canonised character of Persian literature is proposed in this diploma thesis.
