(Themistocles, king of Greece) He was dreaming of a palace as beautiful as Persepolis, so he called one of his commanders who knew the Iranian language and told him, "I have heard." (A stonemason named Maziar and his student Mrs. Gladys) Persepolis (Persepolis) have been carved like jewels in such a way that the couriers of other lands are surprised by all this beauty..
Go to Iran and bring these two to Greece in any way possible. I want them to build a more beautiful Persepolis in Athens. . That Greek commander came to our land with some other soldiers wearing Iranian uniforms and returned after a while with two Iranian artists.
they were . Themistocles ordered to open their hands and told them that I want you to train Greek artists and with their help build me a palace more magnificent than Persepolis. .
The elderly Maziar said that the pattern we carve on the walls of Persepolis is all love, we cannot do what you want, the king of Greece enraged Themistocles and threw them both into prison. . Maziar and Mrs. Gladys were tortured for a year in the worst conditions, but they did not serve the stranger until Xerxeshah, after defeating Greece and conquering Athens, freed those two brave and patriotic artists of Iran and brought them back to Iran with him. He gave valuable gifts .
Those artists were loyal to their land because they discovered the power of art, according to the words of Erd Bozor, a prominent thinker of Iran : At the height of time, no force can stand against culture and art .
Maziar and Mrs. Gladys are the source of pride and glory of our land and that is why they are the first names in the history of Iranian art. .
The Iranian king Xerxes wrote in Persepolis after returning from Athens : Darius had other sons, but as Ahuramazda did, Darius, my father, made me the greatest after himself.. When my father Darius left the throne, by the will of Ahura Mazda, I took the place of the father of the king. When I became king, I built many great buildings. What was built by my father, I followed it and added another building. What I made and what my father made were all made by the will of Ahura Mazda.
We should study Iran's past history more and teach those who don't know what the past Iranian kings such as Cyrus the Great and Zarathustra did to Iran. Indeed, Iran's soil was very important to them. We should know them more and their ways. Let's put things on the table
