Abstract

"Mythological criticism" bears an anthropological base which interprets and paraphrases a literary work or some of its themes through to the in-depth structure of its archetype. In this study the story of KEIKHOSROW IN SHAHNAMEH is surveyed within the qualitative research method based on MYTHOLOGICAL CRITICISM (with tendency and emphasize on archetype). The researcher has tried to interpret the alteration sequence of his myth regarding this approach. According to this approach, Keikhosrow, king and the glorious Kiani priest, is a lofty and ideal symptom of the "hero" archetype. The building blocks of his myths are: the symbolic being of water as an element and the myth of baptism, the power of granting blessing and remand of rain and greenery to nature, being in possession of the prediction cup, passing through the honorary trials to God's salvation, battle with Afrasiab, which is a repetition of the eternal sample of the battle between good and evil and its symbolic disappearance implying his eternal return and is one of the symbols of the archetype of "death and rebirth". The in-depth structure related to the archetype of this story seems to be; Keikhsrow is the "perfect human" of the Iranian epic at the end of " a great cosmic day"- which started from the "first human" (Kiomarss); turning the mythological history of Iran to a repetitive and systematic truth about the cosmological circle of creation.
