  Fatalism is one of the major discourses in the field of literature. In many of his actions, man accepts the free will consciously and unconsciously, but when he fails to resort to fate and believes in and speaks of the supreme will that has finally subjugated him. Whereas, based on the theories of theorists such as Yule, Brown and Fairclough, discourse analysis is applied to language, it cannot be limited to describing linguistic statements that are independent of the purposes and functions that these statements are designed to address in human affairs. , Given the high frequency of words like "fortune" in the books of many poets and writers, these words should be regarded as "signified" words that carry the meta-semantic and transnational concept, rooted in the subconscious and ideology of their speakers. In this article I will attempt to examine the relationship of these words in "Eghbalname" and "Makhzan -al-asrar” ‘s Nezami poem with Zurvanian fatalism thinking and to analyze the discourse based on Norman Fairclough 's theory of analysis. In this article, while discussing these vocabulary, the persistence and effect of Zurvanian -Mehri fatalism on the thoughts and works of writers and poets, as well as the transmission of this thinking to later periods are discussed.

  In Persian lyrical texts, myth, as the infrastructure of culture, plays an important role in representing the function of characters. In Iranian mythological narratives of creation and in the infrastructure of stories, the demon, as a destructive character, tries to overthrow the divine characters. In the story of Vis o Rāmin, composed in poetry by Fakhruddin As'ad Gurgani, and the fifth story of Haft Paykar, composed in poetry by Nizami Ganjavi, the character of demon has enriched the two stories. Both poets, by contrasting demonic and divine forces, have highlighted the dual of good and evil in the deep-structures of narratives. In both texts, the narrator tries to portray the characters' morals and wisdom through their speech and behavior, but explaining of the role of demon in the deep-structures of the two stories is not the same. By using descriptive and analytical method, the present article attempts to consider the function of the theme of demon in two stories. In the mythological infrastructure of Vis o Rāmin which is a battle between Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, the love of Vis and Rāmin defeats the Ahuric wisdom and morals, while in Haft Paykar, the Ahuric wisdom prevails over Ahriman. It should be noted that the differences in the attitudes of the two poets and the influence of Zoroastrian, Zurvanite and Manichaean thoughts on these two books have led to differences in the imaginaries and narratives of the two stories.

  The battle of Rostam and Akvān Div is one of mysterious stories of Shāhnāmeh. Ferdowsī has tried to explore the mysterious aspects of this story. Shāhnāmeh researchers have merely taken a comparative approach and compared Akvan Div with Vai, Arezushamana and Akumana. The author believes that the story of Rostam and Akvān Div has been formed on the basis of Zurvanian myth of creation. Kai Khosrow and Afrāsiāb respectively perform the role of Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, and Rostam and Akvān Div are respectively representatives of Bahman and Akumana. The story is about the third 3,000 year period of the infinite time, a mingled state of contests between the forces of Good and of Evil. Akvān Div is a symbol of Darkness and Rostam, by killing him, rescues the world.   Manuscript profile
