***************************************
Persian
culture traces some thousands of years from prehistoric mythic times to
the
present. In the course of this development from the settlement
of Aryan
tribes
on the Iranian plateau, society developed from nomadic to settled, from
religion of nature to the monotheism of Islam, and from tribal to
modern
representative government. The national epic chronicles the struggles
of heroes
from the coming of man’s use of fire and minerals, from philosophical
teachings
of Zoroaster, the tolerance of Cyrus and Alexander, and revival of
learning.
From ancient times, the concepts of Iranian morality based on triumph
of good
over evil and duty to right infringement of a just social order have
predominated.
