"The right path is only one, the wrong ones are thousands"

Persia is the land of the poets, the country of the roses and the nightingales, the country of exquisiteness and eastern wisdom, the country of sharp contrast. Persia is the country that has inherited the mighty culture of the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations. Country of twenty-five centuries of statehood that has gone through the hell of history, that has survived the terrible invasions of the Hellenes, Arabs, Turks and Mongols, but has endured and managed to preserve its original spirit, its spiritual and national identity. The distinguishing features of this identity are many and different, but it seems it project itself most visibly into utilitarian oral folk tradition. It is what drives through the vast spaces of time the spirit of the Persian society. Myths and legends, proverbs and aphorisms, fables, fairy tales, songs ... All these so diverse genres fill the mosaic of Persian folklore and keep for generations the soul and genius of the ethnicity that created them.
