One of the ways in which myths continue their life is that they are transformed into stories and tales, especially folk tales; Bakhtiarnameh is one of the stories that reflect past mythological ideas and ritual customs. In this article, the mythical and symbolic concepts of the tenth chapter of a book, entitled "Shah Hijaz and Human failure in the face of fate", is examined. The authors hypothesized that in depth construction of this story, they could trace the mythical and symbolic concepts, including acquaintance, isolated in a symbolic place, death and rebirth, hard tests, torture, guidance, mountains, wells, lions, sacred numbers and so on. In addition, the fate of Shah Hejaz's son connects him with the rejected children. We can say that predicting killing his father, being rejected, upbringing by Ayyārs, and finally fighting with his father and getting his king's throne are completely related to the fate of these children.
