Myths and mythical and epic figures are one of the important and valuable fields of culture of different nations, which have preserved their fundamental connection with poetry in various ways. Iranian poets have commented on these mythical and Iranian figures according to their attitude. The presence of these elements in Molvi's poems shows the prosperity, continuity and dynamism of these myths. Now, if the element of imagination is included in the myth, due to its aesthetic nature, it adds to the aesthetic aspect of myths and epics. For this reason, the purpose of this research is to investigate the aesthetic aspect of Iranian mythological and epic characters and figures in Rumi's poems, relying on Masnavi Ma'navi and Divan Shams. This essay is done with a descriptive-analytical method and looks at the mystical function of myth from Joseph Campbell's point of view. Results show that the presence of these mythological and epic figures shows the recognition and attachment of Rumi to ancient stories, mythological and epic characters of the Shahnameh. Also, among the literary arrays, allusion, simile, and metaphor are the most important images that have caused the mythical literaryness of Rumi's poems.
