Abstract
Folklore is an essential element in cultural anthropology. Poets of different periods, including Nizami Ganjavi of the 6th century, have used elements of folklore in their works that represented the history and culture of that period. The masterful verbalist of Ganja City, Nizami reflected in his poetry much of the beliefs and customs of his time. By employing elements of folklore as vehicle, he created new, unique images despite the variety in his stories and poems. This essay tries to examine different elements of folklore as vehicle in the poems of Nizami.
