The Angel of poetry

Composing poetry requires special capacity which not all people possess it. The great influence of the poetry have paved the way for certain myths and beliefs emerging about them, so much so people in different nations assume that what the poets say may be originated from some other world. And maybe some supernatural creature inculcate these words to them. As a result the poet is the speaker of the supernatural. This particular way of thinking in Greek mythology and in some other nations as well as in the thoughts of ignorant Abrabs and the poets emerging after the time of ignorance can be observed. In Greek and Roman mythology Apollo, the son of Zeus, considers Muse as the representative of art and poetry. The Muses are nine grades each representing a particular art and they all work on the guidance of Apollo. These Muses inspire poetry to the poets and guide them to compose epics and, sonnets. Also in the ancient Iran, Mani believed that there had been an angel called Tama or Hamzad who inspired him some words. The Arabs of the ignorance period believed that every poet had a gen of his own which inculcated the words of poetry to him. Infact, the poet is its spokesman and this is accomplished on the basis of the poetʹs qualifications and through specific stages. This way of thought has also left its influence in Persian poetry; So that some of the poets have referred to an angel , gen or super ordinate who inspire and inculcate the poetry to them. And eventually all these have led to a new thinking that the inspirer of the poetry to the poet is the lover.
