Iran safariWild Boar and Ancient Stories: The wild boar was widespread throughout ancient Greece. Its ferociousness, destructiveness, and strength made it a worthy opponent for the hunter and heroes of Greek mythology. Fear of these wild beasts resulted in legends arising to explain the nature and purpose of their being. Boars were often associated with certain gods or as sent by them to punish the human race. Artemis, the goddess of hunting, mountains and forests, is the most closely linked with the wild boar. Because of their strength, courage, and ferocity, the wild boar symbolized a worthy adversary for the hunter as well. Theseus determined to slay the Krommyon boar to prove his bravery by risking his life in battle against this formidable opponent.As a wild and fierce animal, the boar was regarded as a symbol of one side of Artemis' nature, capable of unleashing sudden, violent destruction on humans and property. Our wildlife exploration starts with a drive northwards to the Dasht-e Naz and Miyan Kaleh wildlife refuge, where we spend one night in the hotel before heading on to Iran’s oldest National Park at Golestan. The Greek farmer or warrior hunted the wild boar to protect crops or for sport. The hunter might dedicate the tusks of the boar, killed in dangerous circumstances, in a sanctuary or mount its tusks upon a battle headdress. The Kalydonian boar was regarded as an instrument of her vengeance, sent by Artemis against King Oeneus because he had failed to offer her the first fruits of his harvest. Her sacred buildings were often decorated with images of boars' heads. Upon early arrival in Tehran, you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel. Here we stay overnight in a local house for two nights and then drive to protected area of Khoshyelagh, Persian Cheetah one habitat of the cheetah, where your guide will help you to identify many of the species which make up its abundant bird population, and where we spend two nights in a local house. This mountainous region provides a magnificent diverse natural habitat for animals including leopard, gazelle, wild sheep, ibex, wild boar and wolves; and birds such as the colorful kingfisher, Golden Eagle, Imperial Eagle, Black Vulture and the Siberian Crane. The fourth of the labours of Herakles involved the pursuit and capture of the Erymanthian boar. Odysseus managed to overcome his beastly foe but not before its tusks left their mark on his body. Unfortunately, the ferocity of the boar hunted by Adonis led to his death.
