Summary

Description
العربية: نقشٌ بارز لِأسدٍ وثورٍ يتقاتلان في پرسپولیس - وهو رمزٌ تمَّ تفسيره بِعدَّة طُرق، فاعتُبر إحدى رُموز النيروز (رأس السنة الفارسيَّة) - وهو يوم الاعتدال الربيعي حيثُ أنَّ قُوَّة الثور (الذي يُمثِّل الأرض)، والأسد (الذي يُمثِّل الشمس)، تبقى مُتساوية إلى الأبد.

Русский: Барельеф в Персеполе - cимвол зороастрийского Навруза - в день весеннего равноденствия силы извечно борющихся быка, олицетворяющего Землю, и льва, олицетворяющего Солнце, равны
