    Fertility is a subject that has not been noticed in the myth of Siyāvash. But we can trace it in Ferdowsi's epic, Shāhnāmeh. In fact, Siyāvash is the god of vegetation and fertility who has transformed into a prince. The present article tries to show the similarities among Siyāvash and Osiris (Egyptian god of the Afterlife, the Underworld and the Dead), and Attis, (Phrygian vegetation god) by comparing them. They have a direct relationship with the nature. Each one of them has a goddess whose function is to prepare the grounds for death and resurrection (spring and winter). There is also a special rite in each of them.   Manuscript profile
