Abstract
The myth of eternal return considers a primary, superior, and heavenly model for every earthly phenomenon; in other words, it considers everything in this world to be an imitation of a Heaven model. Hafiz of Shiraz in a famous verse, speaks of the "green expanse of sky" and the "sickle of the new moon." Some myths also speak of "heavenly farms," this means that ancient man first recognized the heavenly farm and based on it created earthly farms. In this research, based on Mircea Eliade's theory of the myth of eternal return, relying on documentary and library studies, and using an analytical-descriptive approach, we have reported the above mentioned verse. The aim of this article is to study the symbolism of the words used in the two compositions "The green expanse of sly" and " the sickle (the crescent) of the new moon". The findings show that although all these words do not appear to be related to each other on the surface, they are deeply connected in terms of myth, ritual, and ideology, and express concepts such as time, death, harvest, fertility, life and death, rebirth, and immortality. Therefore, it can be said that the mentioned verse is closely linked to the intended concepts.
