A Theory about the Identity of Siyavosʹs Mother

It is only possible to speculate about the identity of SiyavoSʹs mother since, in the Shahnameh and other important epic sources, her identity is shrouded in mystery. One scholar claims that Sryavo.;ʹs mother was in fact Sudabe and that, for moral considerations, they have invented another mother for her. Another scholar ʹ_holds that she was the archetype of the girls creating Zoroastriansʹ saviors (sosiyants). The theory that the writer of the present paper puts forward is that she was originally a pari in its ancient sense of this mythical being, later changed into beautiful girl as the myths changed and epics developed. In the ancient ideas berone Zoroaster, paris were the goddesses of fertility who ravished the hearts of princes and heroes and married them and raised their children. The writer presents several pieces of evidence to prove his theory; These include: dazzling beauty of Siyavo.sʹs mother, her staying in the woods, inconsistency in and the ambiguity concerning her identity, her having no name, her sudden disappearance, the sad ending of her sonʹs life, similarities and dissimilarities with Tahmine.
