Abstract

Mountains have received much attention from Iranian people since the ancient times. In the pre-Islamic period, they were admired as place the Anahita Goddess and for their mythical features. Many other myths have become eternal since they have been closely tied up with the mountains. For this reason, the character of the mountains is also of particular value and has been influential in the creation of Iranian architectural, urban and artistic works. Monuments, tombs, paintings, miniatures, as well as the spatial organization of cities are among the works whose formation has been substantially influenced by the mountains.
Nowadays, these values have changed throughout the history, and the features of the mountains have been transformed. This article seeks to analyze the dimensions of the mountain landscape and show the changes in contemporary Iranian thoughts. To this end, we have attempted to classify the conceptual evolution of the term mountain (Kooh in persian) in the modern poetry, as one of the manifestations of contemporary thoughts.
