Myth is a kind of story that the ancient people once considered to be true, but today, the emphasis is on its narrative aspect. In the story of The Temptation of Saint Anthony, Gustave Flaubert has made effective use of the myths of ancient Iran, and has shown his interest in the theme of encountering of man and the devil. In the poem of Serivili's House, Nima Yooshij has also made mythopoeia. In this poem, based on his past culture, he has dealt with the encountering of man and the devil and has intervened in it. The devil has a mythological role in both works and plays a social function. The present research, by using analytical-comparative method, examines the common themes of the myths in The Temptation of Saint Anthony and Serivili's House based on the story of the creation of the devil. The findings show that Nima Yooshij is completely influenced by Flaubert's The Temptation of Saint Anthony in composing Serivili's House.
