A comparative comparison of the mythical characters of Jamshid and Osiris

Zahra Iranmanesh (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Examining and applying the principles of epic works of different nations can play an important role in understanding them as much as possible and can also explain the relations between the literature of the nations of the world and the development of literary, intellectual and cultural exchanges. Jamshid is one of the mythological characters of Shahnameh whose life stages and events during his life have many similarities with Osiris, one of the mythological characters of ancient Egypt.

METHODOLOGY: This research has been done in a descriptive-analytical manner.

FINDINGS: Jamshid and Osiris in Iranian and Egyptian mythology have common features that indicate the collective human unconscious. By examining and comparing the lives, deeds and destinies of these heroes, one can get acquainted to some extent with the collective unconscious contents of the two nations (Iran and Egypt) and to illuminate the dark and obscure corners of the ancient cultural and social structure and understand the way of thinking and beliefs of the people. Ancient times helped.
