Abstract

The literature of various nations, in spite of having an independent identity, interacts and converses with each other, which is more perceptible and more tangible in contemporary Iranian literature, because in this era, the progress of science and the expansion of the printing industry and political requirements in communicating with the Western governments has led Western literature to cast its shadow over the literature of contemporary Iranian poetry in various ways. Among the areas where contemporary literature has witnessed tremendous changes in this regard, one can refer to attitudes, themes and images. For instance, some of the poets who were the forerunners of particular styles in this age such as Forough, Nima, Shamloo, Akhavan, etc, who were under the influence of various factors began to defamiliarze images to create new symbols. Meanwhile, Shahriar’s poems manifest some unique and personal images and symbols, one of which is related to the planet Venus (“Venus” or Nahid”). In this poet’s collection of poems or his Divan, Venus, for the first time, has been introduced as the constellation of the Shepherd by preserving the function of the Minstrel/Singer constellation. This research is based on an analytic inductive method that studies and examines other works to find the original source of the recent image. The result of the research shows that Shahriyad has been under the influence of French Literature in his acquaintance with the French language and contemplation in the works of poets such as Shato Barian, in publishing and editing with educated individuals such as Iraj Mirza, Nima Yoshij, Sadeq Hedayat and in creating these images
