        Formation of different classes in human societies  has been one of the consequences of population growth and the complexity resulting from that in initial communities. This process, dating back to the human history, has occurred in Iranian society too. However, the analysis of social classes based on the ancient Iranian myths and stories (national narratives) has been considered less.  How the formation of social classes and their assignment, divisions and function in the national narratives of Iran, is the main issue of this research. The present study shows that the root of social strata can be searched in the Indo-European society. Initially these were divided into three groups: Srvanan (Clergymen), Artshtaran (military) and Vastryvshan (farmers). But away from the Gahan society, other classes were created too including teachers, craftsmen, craft eyes, musician ,etc. National narratives, assign these classes to Jamshid. The structure of social strata of Iran, Relying on livelihoods and  moral society, has been based on the  principle of dutifulness in order to avoid interfering in the affairs, each class will work in the disposal of evil forces and maintenance of divine Justice and faith.   Manuscript profile
