In ancient Parthia, we see elements of ancient Mesopotamian culture like this relief of the god Nergal. Nergal, a god of war and death, was worshipped for thousands of years in the region. He’s still showing up in the first couple of centuries CE in Parthia, on this relief from Hatra, a city in northern Iraq that became an important center of trade and culture under the Parthians:

Nergal came, over time, to be associated with Heracles, who had come to the region with the Greek culture brought by Alexander the Great. You can see Parthian depictions of Heracles here:

Scheherazade, Georges Barbier, from a series of drawings based on the ballets of Vaslav Nijinsky (1913)

Betrayed by his wife, the king of Persia, Shahriyar, decides to exact vengeance by marrying a different virgin every day and having her put to death after the wedding night. To put an end to the massacre, the daughter of the grand vizier, Scheherazade, offers herself to the sultan. On the evening of the wedding, she begins to tell him a riveting story, but is careful to leave it unfinished. Desperate to learn how it goes on, Shahriyar affords her a stay of execution. Scheherazade continues for one thousand and one nights, at the end of which the sultan abandons his revenge. Captivated by the imagination and the storytelling talents of his new wife, he decides to keep her close by him forever. Intelligent and cultivated, Scheherazade is a positive incarnation of a woman who frees herself from male oppression by her ingenuity and mastery of language.

Gold clasp of eagle, possibly belonging to the House of Karen, 1st-2nd C. CE. Found in Nahavand. The House of Karen seems to have been descended from the Parni, who were themselves an offshoot of the Scythians. Ernst Herzfeld wrote that this item probably belonged to their house.

"House of Karen (Middle Persian: Kārēn; Parthian: 𐭊𐭓𐭍𐭉, romanized: Kārēn; Persian: کارن, romanized: Kārin or Kāren), also known as Karen-Pahlav (Kārēn-Pahlaw) was one of the Seven Great Houses of Iran during the rule of Parthian and Sassanian Empires. The seat of the dynasty was at Nahavand, about 65 km south of Ecbatana (present-day Hamadan, Iran). Members of House of Karen were of notable rank in the administrative structure of the Sassanian empire in multiple periods of its four century-long history.

The Karens, Karan-Vands, Qarinvand dynasty or Karen-Pahlevi as they are also called, claimed descent from Karen, a figure of folklore and son of the equally mythical Kaveh the Blacksmith. Their historical origin however may be that the Karens, along with the House of Mihran, were descended from the Arsacids. According to Movses Khorenatsi, this descent was via one of the three sons of Phraates IV, also named Karen. The fact that Karen may also have been among the family names of the Arsacid dynasty may give credence to this theory.

The first verified reference to the Karenas was during the Arsacid era, specifically as one of the feudal houses affiliated with the Parthian court. In this they were similar to the House of Suren, the only other attested feudal house of the Parthian period. Following the conquest of the Parthians, the Karenas allied themselves with the Sassanids, at whose court they were identified as one of the so-called "Parthian clans". The Armenian Kamsarakan family was a branch of the House of Karen."

One of the primary forms of fortune-telling in the Islamic world was bibliomancy, in which people would flip open a book to a random page, plunk down their finger, and then interpret their future based on the image or text they had selected. Sometimes this was done with the Quran, but Persian people in the 1500s and 1600s produced books full of lavishly decorated paintings for the practice.

This image would have been a positive omen — it shows the story of the “Seven Sleepers,” who kept themselves safe by sleeping in a cave for centuries:
