Abstract:
In Shahnameh, Ferdowsi narrates the cultural components of the identity of ancient Iran in the light of political approaches. The present article tries to answer the question of how Ferdowsi and with what components, aspects and cultural elements, using descriptive-analytical method and theoretical foundations based on political culture, which includes intermediate and related structures of culture and politics. Does it link ancient Iran to politics?
Findings show that in Shahnameh, although the two aspects of culture and politics are expanded and taken, but they are so intertwined and related that it is almost impossible to separate them from each other, for example, culture of tolerance is integrated with the political concept of the Shah of Iran Sharia is placed next to the monarchy.The essence and art of a true political system becomes possible.. Justice, which was intended to establish order and prevent chaos, is administered by the king himself. Shahriari has a divine basis and the demise of Farah Izadi is accompanied by the domination of others, demons and magic. Geographically, one of the aspects of the identity of ancient Iran in Ferdowsi Shahnameh is the geographical borders of Iran, which is a geographical idea of Iranians in accordance with political and national traditions, which is completely related to the myths of creation
