Abstract

According to the STRUCTURAL MYTHOLOGY approach, myths through the intermediary elements that they present try to remove the conflict that exists between the BINARY OPPOSITES. These intermediary elements constantly go to and fro from one opposite to the other so that through struggle and merging with one side or both sides find a unity to neutralize the existing conflict or rather make them less pronounced. This essay introduces the structural theory of LEVI-STRAUSS in myth analysis and applies it to JAMSHID’s story as an example to illustrate to what extent this theory functions in analysis of Persian myths. Accordingly Yameh/ Jam is a myth formed in the minds of Indians and Iranians to try and overcome the conflict between life and death by a return journey to both ends, that is man’s mortality and a wish to attain everlasting life. Although the myth cannot overcome the existing conflict completely, eventually it turns into a manifested hybrid of both the concept of life and death which was named “live death”.
