Abstract :

Abstract The main mission of the comparative literature is to describe the trajectory of relations among world nations and to emphasize and develop intellectual, literary and cultural exchanges. The potential and literary capacity of Shahnameh is comparable with any epic work. Therefore, in Shahnameh, Ferdowsi's great work that is a national and natural epic is comparable with Virjil’s work, Enne Eed, that is the paramount example of the artifact classic. Thus, this article aims to the comparison and study of the aspects of differentiation and sharing between the pivotal and epic characters of these two valuable works.
