Abstract :
The present paper endeavors to find a relationship between Khayam's philosophy and his mythology. Because it is found out that the selection of poetry for his ideas according to the relationship between poetry and mythology has been out of consciousness simply because there are various signs that prove his mythology such as mythological time, rounds and cycle of drinking wine, flowers and grass growing out of earth and then being turned into soil again, pottery and pot, witnessing the body parts of human beings out of suspended dust in the air, and the like. Explanation of mythological insight is not possible except through literature and poetry. Else, due to the signs related to earth, it is highlighted that Khayam's inclination is towards earth because according to mythologists every artist, writer, and poet tries to choose one of the four elements of life. We believe that Khayam's element is that of earth so that we strive to prove it via the signs extracted out of his quartet. Thus, the research methodology has been quantitative and descriptive and the relevant information has been provided through library studies. The purpose of writers has been more on proving Khayam's mythology with an emphasis on earth. The outcome has been Khayam's inclination on such a generative element as earth.
