Abstract

This article seeks to identify the EPIC and MYTHOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS of the story of the Beasts of Mazandaran in SHAHNAMEH with particular attention to their records in Avestan, Pahlavi, Soghdi and other texts. The very first EPIC and mythological origin of this story is in the Avestan and Pahlavi texts. In these texts, the beasts appear in two divine and manlike structures and stand against Ahuramazda, deities and men. However, in the ninth book of Dinkard, an independent story makes the EPIC framework of THE STORY OF BEASTS OF MAZANDARAN. In this story, beasts are gigantic men who stand against Feraydun. This narration is conveyed to the first report in Koushnameh. These gigantic men in the report of Dinkard and Koushnameh having passed through the stories of Nariman and Maghreb Beasts, Sam and Nareh beasts of Mazandaran and Soghdi ROSTAMnameh acquire demonic nature and transform into demonic beasts with magic forces and superhuman deeds. In the end, THE STORY OF BEASTS OF MAZANDARAN after being demythologized is conveyed to the second report of Koushnameh.
