Abstract

In shahnameh numerous folktales can be found with profound mythical bases. ZAHHAK’s story is then an outstanding example of a mythical fiction. ZAHHAK with his dark and vicious soul is a monster in Persian mythology. In this article an effort has been made to examine the story and its characters from the psychological perspective based on the theories of FREUD and JUNG. Emphasis has been put on such terms as TOTEM, and TABOO, Key words in FREUD’s theory. Since both the psychological and the mythological criticisms are closely related, in applying the Oedipus complex, rooted in the COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS, and one of the main theories of JUNG, the author aims to penetrate into the dark recesses of ZAHHAK’s character in order to explain his actions, reactions, tensions, and his psychological CONFLICTS to reveal his true identity and dark soul.
