Abstract

GAYOMARD is an important character in IRANIAN MYTHOLOGY that has undergone a lot of changes during history. In pre-Islamic and Post- Islamic sources, GAYOMARD has been introduced as the FIRST MAN and the first king, but the evidences show he is not the FIRST MAN and king only, but his history goes back to a more ancient period. There is no instance of his name in Gathas, but we can trace some signs of him in it. Indeed, GAYOMARD is the remainder of a more ancient idea in which the CREATION has been shaped of a primal monster god and the life begins with it. This belief is observed among most nations, but in Iran because of the disagreement of Zarathustra with old mythology, the idea of the primal beginner of existence has almost been lost, and this idea was replaced by Ahura Mazda, as the creator of all that exists and will come to existence. Using the theory of Max Muller, and the comparison of common mythology, especially INDIAN MYTHOLOGY, this survey attempts at reconstructing the primal and forgotten figure of GAYOMARD; then based on Georges Dumezil's theory, it was aimed to determine three functional structure of GAYOMARD myth as the beginner in IRANIAN MYTHOLOGY.
