Abstract

Wolf is an animal who is found in many parts of the world and it has always attracted human attention to itself for its compatibility with different climates and its unique features in lifestyle and hunting; and it has entered the myths of various tribes. In the myths of many peoples of eastern and western, especially among the Romans, Turks, and Mongols, the Wolf has similar functions such as the ancient ancestor, breeding, guiding, fertility, support and protection, etc… and is worshiped as a Totem. But in Iranian mythology, there are no such acts, and very limited tasks are assigned to the Wolf. In Persian epic texts, Turanians are often associated with wolves. This comparative study seeks to find the answer to the question of what wolves do in the myths of other nations, and which creatures have these acts in Iranian mythology. According to this study most of these works in Persian mythology are doing by Simurgh; although the similarity between Simurgh and Falcon (Varghan) makes this presence more prominent. Another function that the Wolf has in the myths of other nations, it has been seen in lion and Bahram of Persian mythology.
