Hormozgan’s folk tales, Myth, Fairy, and fairy-like women, Rationalism, Re-productiveness.
Abstract:   (5114 Views)

The present paper tries to study fairies and fairy-like women in the folk-tales in Hormozgan. The folk-tales and myth in Hormozgan like other components of the folk culture are full of diverse mythological motifs and the old beliefs and rituals of the nations. Therefore, it has the potential to be used as an important source for studying the Iranian culture and thought, anthropology, sociology, and generally cultural studies. Fairy as a mythological and super-natural being in the structure of Hormozgan’s folk-tales has been embodied as an earthly and wise being, and has turned to a beautiful girl. Nevertheless, it is still a marvelous creature and displays its fairy-like characteristics and attributes in many tales.  In these tales, fairies and fairy-like women appear to men as a human being or an animal in order to fulfill their reproductive roles. Then, they try to marry them through love expression. Their roles end after giving birth to a baby, and then disappear from the tale.

Keywords: Hormozgan’s folk tales, Myth, Fairy, and fairy-like women, Rationalism, Re-productiveness.
