The cultural legacy of the ancient
kingdoms of Persia can still be seen in modern Iran. Language and
metaphor is at the root of most Iranian arts, from calligraphy to
poetry to music and dance. The most popular singers today still
use classical poems, and most visual artists use a rich vocabulary
of symbols and metaphors in their work.
