Abstract
As A Legendary Hero in The Classical Turkish Poetry Sayyid Nesimi
Sayyid Nesîmî, who has an important place in our
literary history, is a classical poet who can not be shared
between Turkish and Persian literature which lived in the
beginning of the 15th century and the Turkish and Persian
divan. Iran and Azerbaijan were found in the field for a
long time, then came to Anatolia, he was killed by being
skinned because of his devotion to Hurufi faith. His life
adventure has given him the identity of a hero, and he has
been recognized as one of the seven great masters.
According to this; the nature of the poets, the poetry and
the poetry of the poets in terms of being killed by skinning,
the persecution, the mystic direction, the submission, the
return of his beliefs, the cesminic sacrifice for the sake of
divine love and the same destiny with the Mansur is not
mentioned in the divans. This situation makes Nesîmî
different from other poets. Nesîmî has taken its place as an
image in divan poetry, just like mythologically-heresy
Persian heroes.
In this study; it is tried to put forward by moving from
64 pieces of poetry obtained from 33 poets how Nesîmî was
perceived by Divan poets as a mythical personality and
how he found himself in the poems.
