Abstract

In the present article with regards to pre-Islamic period resources and different religious backgrounds, the myth of FREIDUN and its development are examined in passage of time. After comparing him with some Vedic and Mithraic characters, it is shown that the unique task of this hero, who is the killer of dragon, is fertility and precipitation. In resources belonging to Islamic period, FREIDUN loses his divine image and transforms to a king with super natural powers, but has some MYTHICAL MOTIFS such as: learning the secrets, passing the hard exams, mystique relationship of the person with his/her own name, magic and sorcery, relationship with fertility and establishing the feasts and rites that contain symbolic elements like cow.
