Abstract

Hiding the NAME or revealing it is one the prominent themes in epic literature. The aim of present research is studying the concept of "name" and revealing or hiding it in SHĀNĀMEH, HEROIC POEMS and tūmārhā-ye naqqālī (notebooks of storytelling). By using library and content analysis methods, these works have been examined. The results show that in confronting enemy the heroes choose one of these three methods: in 25 cases, the heroes reveal frankly their own NAME. In 5 cases, they confront their enemies with a forged NAME, and only in one case they refer to their epithet and honorific title. Apparently, these methods are in contradictory but not so if examined carefully. All three methods have a MYTHic and ritual origin revealing the role of NAME in the beliefs of ancient Iranians. In the past, some people believed that NAME is an important part of man's being and if his NAME is revealed to his enemies, he will be spellbound and defeated. So, in confronting the enemy, the heroes tried to hide their NAME or used a forged one. But, some other heroes believed that if the enemy utters their NAME that will enforce and excite the enemy to attack, so the heroes pre-empt and shout their own NAMEs and the enemy will be intimidated. The third aspect is that epithet is not a living part of the hero’s existence. So while refraining from revealing the NAME they could refer to their epithet facing the enemy.
