Abstract

In epic narratives, there are signs of mythology and mythological patterns. Some characters, narratives, places, and other elements may be rooted in mythology. One of the characters who has been talked about much of his mythological or non-mythological and narrative related to him is Rostam. The narratives and stories that Rostam presents in the epic of Iran includes some other heroes like the birth of Rostam, bringing the king from an alien land or his way of death. In these narratives, similar to Rostam's narrations, there are some pieces of material that are more or less authentic than Rostam's stories. In this article, several of these narratives have been investigated and shown. Other stories follow Rostam's stories from the older or primary mythological material, and in the narratives of Rostam it is neither visible nor visible, or the color is lost or a newer form And more logical. Therefore, other narratives are more or less original than Rostam's narratives, and narratives related to Rostam are probably newer in narratives or because of his conversion to the first epic of the National Epic, based on other narratives.
