Statue of Arash the Archer, Izeh, Iran
Arash the Archer is a heroic archer-figure in Iranian folklore and mythology.
According to legends after a long war between Iranians and Turanians, the two sides agree to make peace. Both reach an agreement that whatever land falls within the range of a bow-shot shall be returned to the Manuchehr (King of Iran) and the Iranians, and the rest should then fall to Afraisab and the Aniranians (Non-Iranians)
Arash is picked as the archer. He climbs the tallest mountain in Iran (mount Damavand) and fires the arrow. He dies immediately after firing the bow, as according to legend he puts his own life in it. The arrow travels for days and days, winning Iranians huge swaths of land.
