  The linguistic characteristics of the literature of nations in various diverse and literary forms reflect the special infrastructure, the main constituents of their culture and literature. Meanwhile, giant species and epic species flourish along with other types, the cycle and the centrality of their literary language, and maintains a special place for reflection of the author's thoughts and thoughts and behaviors. Since the phenomena of the authors of this type of text and the sensitivity of the attendance of their authors in the text can not be denied, the examination of the position of the author and the influence of the angle of the meeting in the text can reveal the vague points of the writings. "I am rich" or expressing the emotional and emotional character of the author in the rich and romantic texts, represents a representation of unconscious secrets from the author's intrinsic view to the various subjects around him. Since the phenomena of the authors of this type of text and the sensitivity of the attendance of their authors in the text can not be denied, the examination of the position of the author and the influence of the angle of the meeting in the text can reveal the vague points of the writings. The infrastructure of "my individual and my love", "my social", "my moral", and even the mystical and mythological forms, each of which expresses the exact pattern of the author's mind to the reader, and in an involuntary and unconscious way, the author's mentality to persuade the reader Guides. In the epic texts, the author and the presence of "my individual" and "his poetic self", though apparently not positioned, but in the underlying structures of the narrative and reporting of the pseudonymous and historic text of the text, the writer's burrow into his inner feelings and norms Willfulness can be seen in various forms. The supreme advocate of the "myths" of the heroes and heroes and their defenses and their frontiers in confronting the pole of malice and misdeeds, the sacrifice of national and patriotic honors, and even ethnicity against the aliens, ... Values ​​and Values National and nationalist thoughts portray a saga in connection with his emotions and emotions, although the narrative tale of the story has a background and background beyond the mind and the language of the author. Since Ferdowsi's "Shahnam", as well as "Divan Hafiz" of Shirazi, are considered to be perfect examples of two types of epic and richness, the investigator of the measure of the presence of the "hero of the Liric", or the "poetic myth", is represented by the representation "I have voluntarily" an epic manifestation in an adaptive manner in these two epic and Persian epics.

  Comparative study of narratives regarding Scythians’ interment rite in Shahnameh with actual burial service performed in Iran using funeral remains found in Khoram Abad cemetery in Meshkin shahr *Ghasem Mehravar Gigloo PhD­ Student, Persian Literature, Mohaghegh Ardabili University, Ardabil, Iran **Reza Rezaloo Associate Professor, Archeology Department, Mohaghegh Ardabili University, Iran ***Yahya Ayramloo PhD Graduate, Archeology, Mohaghegh Ardabili University, Iran Date of reception: 95/11/16 Date of acceptance: 98/9/20 Abstract Shahnameh Ferdowsi is considered as one of the most invaluable sources regarding the customs, traditions, and rituals of different ancient societies living in our land.  One of these rituals one comes across in Shahnameh is a ritual surrounding the death of kings and great heroes, and since some of these figures belonged to Scythian race it is the purpose of this article to compare their manner of burial with the actual interment rite performed in Iran using rare example of burial remains uncovered by archeologists in the recent excavation as evidence.  According to the researches done it has been established that the burial ceremony carried out by Scythian people in Khoram Abad cemetery in Meshkin shahr to a large extent corresponds with Ferdowsi’s composition regarding burial rituals conducted for Scythian heroes.  Ferdowsi’s description of how glorious tombs were erected for Scythian heroes could well represent what is found in imperial coffins in Khoram Abad cemetery in Ardabil.  In both cases the existence of horse near the corpses were greatly emphasized.   * . mehravar_g@yahoo.com ** . reza_rezaloo@yahoo.com *** . yahya_ayramloo@yahoo.com Manuscript profile

  The existence of common names and similar narratives in Avesta and Indian epics is indicative of the antiquity of the Persian  epic and mythological stories since at least the time of the companionship and symbiosis of Indo-Iranian people, that is more than two thousand years BC.  Certain signs regarding fantastic animals, extraordinary birds and various narratives from Dumuzid myth and Inanna are representative of common grounds with Indo-European peoples and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia.  References made by Herodotus, Ctesias, and Xenophon in books and the reports given by Chares of Mytilene, chamberlain of Alexander the Great bear witness to the fact that religious, heroic and lyrical stories had been kept in cultural centers and treasuries of Iranian kings. Other narratives such as the story of Rostam and Sohrab and the story of Kavus’s ascent to the heaven all point to the accounts minstrels created often in versified form and sang in different regions perhaps with little change.  These narratives which are more often heroic, lyrical allegories have many instances in the story of Khosrow Parviz and Barbad in Shahnameh. Although minstrels had arisen from the heart of the populace and had mostly narrativized for their sake, they had enjoyed special treatment within the circles of nobles and rulers and had regular visits to their courts. In this article attempt is made to highlight the importance of these improvisators and clarify their place and position in the society of that time. Manuscript profile

  Abstract   Romances are regarded as the integral part of Iranian national epics.  Considering the fact that epics produced after Shahnameh were all influenced by it, many lyrical characteristics of Shahnameh are found in them.  The attempt is made in this article to study these characteristics in the light of intertextuality approach.  Intertextual relationships are divided into three categories in terms of diction, theme, and content. The epics were examined from the perspective of content intertextuality and the descriptive analytic library method was employed in this research. The results of the study indicate that subjects such as falling in love via hearing, the role of mediators in love, women as pioneers in declaring love, role of astronomers and priests or Mobadan, and etc are used intertextually in most romances.

  Abstract The relationship between guardianship and adoption is a legal one.  It has certain characteristics and necessitates special circumstances which according to its historical background and particular outlook in ancient Persia, various examples of it are seen in Shahnameh.  The purpose of this study is to examine different aspects of the rights of these adopted children in Shahnameh and to analyze the cases according to the articles of the convention of children’s rights.  This document, Shahnameh is the first international agreement which supports the children’s rights and respects the same rights and privileges of a natural child for the adopted ones to the best interests of child.  Different studies demonstrate that the guardianship and adoptions in Shahnameh had roots in social, political, and cultural factors and the economic coercion by no means had any role in the affair, the main concern being the cultivation and raising of children irrespective of winning the benefits gained in the process.  The overall attention of the guardians towards the rights of these children are indeed praiseworthy. The emotional aspect in particular is an integral part of the guardian’s responsibility unlike the weak performances  seen from some families in this regard.    Keywords: Guardianship, adoption, the convention of children’s rights, child, Shahnameh Ferdowsi.

  Till present, a considerable amount of research has been undertaken regarding Afrasiab’s character, the renowned Tourani commander whose evil character is among the most striking in the epic works of this land. This research is an attempt to find the mythological origin of this character by investigating ancient religious works, Middle Persian and Islamic texts according to their historical order of appearance.  Moreover, in order to prove Benevenis’s claim that Afrasiab is most probably the consequence of Diva  Famina (Epeousha), numerous evidence from the above texts are presented.  In the course of this research attempt is also made to examine the origin of the myth of Arash , a character who is also associated with water and rain, to signify his role in persuading Afrasiab to withdraw .

  Based on the turn-taking processes which is one of the study fields in Applied Stylistics, the quality of starting the conversation, the quantity and number of turn takings of the participants, time and duration of turn for every speaker, leading the subject matter of conversation by the participants and meanwhile the impact of all the aforementioned factors on the degree of command and the authority of the speakers to organize the subject of speech are dealt with in this study.  The general aim of this research is to study the conversational acts on the basis of turn-taking and addressing system in the combat between Rostam and Esfandyar.  The results obtained show that the alternating turns in this epic narrative coincides with the analytic literature of conversation.  It seems that apart from the influence of narrator in moving the story forward, the strength and dominance of these two epic figures have significant role in assessing and predicting the outcome of the tale.  In dialogues, the organization of turns taken by each speaker, type of addressing the other party on behalf of each participant, are influenced by the heroic and regal circumstances so that the narrator is often with respect to these aspects selects suitable discourse for Rostam and Esfandyar.  Discourse indicative of physical strength for the former, and the one emphasizing the spiritual strength and Divine Farr for the latter.

  Without a doubt Shahnameh is a universal text whose humane ethical system goes far beyond the race and geographic barriers.  Hence it is not surprising to see the rare capacity of Shahnameh to accommodate so many characters and to attribute world symbols and human character archetypes to them.  This research is based on the psychological and archetypal approach used by Carol S. Pearson and Hugh K. Marr in the theory of “Awakening the hero within” and Joseph Campbell’s theory in “The hero’s journey”.  Descriptive analytic method was used to prove the above theories in life stories of Seyavash and Kay khosrow in Shahnameh.  The result of this analysis seems to suggest that their lives begin with the archetype “orphan” becomes intrinsic in them despite the changes brought about in their characters and in their life condition, this archetype almost evolves symbolically with death in Siayvash.  The outward and objective expression of this evolutionary transformation and awakening is manifested in Kay Khosrow in the form of “sage” archetype which leads to his awakening.  Therefore the process of Ferdowsi’s characterization from Seyavash to Kay Khosrow  both from the aspect of cycle of life and death ( Plant god and martyre in Seyavash’s being to fertility goddess and life in Kay Khosrow’s being) and the quality of the here’s journey are complementary.

  The story of Goshtasb’s journey to the Roman Empire and his marriage with Katayun, a Byzantine princess in Shahnameh is one of the stories that is strongly continued its literary life in the oral culture of Iranians. What has been Ferdowsi’s source to narrate this story is not clearly known however in nearly all general history books written in Farsi after shahnameh this story is present. In this regard what exists today with variety of narrations among the Iranian ethnic groups is a story called Seapony and in the international tale-type index it is classified under type 314. Although there are minor differences with the Shahnameh narrative, this story has kept many of its structural and semantic characteristics. Since the most ancient international written narratives dates back to the twelfth century, Ferdowsi’s narrative takes precedence over them. Manuscript profile

  Aristotle divided tragedy into six formative elements and mythos or plot is the most important one.  In shahnameh plot plays a pivotal role in tragedies and bears considerable resemblance to Aristotle’s mythos.  The purpose of this research is to discuss this issue according to Aristotle’s views employing descriptive analytic approach to indicate that most tragedies in Shahnameh correspond to Aristotelian mythos and its constituent elements such as recognition, transformation and catastrophic event or downfall.  Plot refers to the sequence of events inside a tragedy which affect other events through the principle of cause and effect.  The existence of recognition, transformation and catastrophic fate of the protagonist encourage the reader to reread times and times again tragedies of Shahnameh.  Therefore the everlasting appeal and the secret of survival of Shahnameh owes itself to its strong plot greatly corresponding to mythos of Aristotle although as far as narrative structure is concerned in parts for instance forecasting in the beginning of tragedies and domination of destiny and final fate discrepancies exist.

  The purpose of this article is to investigate the esthetic aspect of the death of one of the Ferdowsi’s epic characters, in order to reveal only a glimpse of the dynamic potentialities and the scope of interpretation of this grand masterpiece.  The historic – mythic structure of the epic texts apparently does not lend itself to interpretation however the texture of stories in Shahnameh is such that renders the text quite interpretable.  Ferdowsi’s epic has a paradoxical texture:  On one hand there are signs that point realistically to concise, consistent, and systematic features, and on the other hand there are endless interpretations, and it is extremely decontextualized, produces multiple layers of meanings and it is filled with ambiguities.  It constantly seeks to remain without an ultimate texture and to remain detached from history, to be non-spatial and hence be eternal.  Selection of Bahram’s death and glorified esthetical death of this epic hero is an occasion to illustrate the post structuralist nature of Ferdowsi’s epic despite the fact that the characteristic feature of Shahnameh is inclined towards a consistent structure.
