Abstract

The present article seeks to explore the love stories of epic and lyric literature by citing poetic examples and to analyze their differences. The most important question is: Given the differences between the Khorasani and Iraqi styles, what are the differences between the epic love stories and the Lyric love stories? Epic love stories ("Zal and Rudabeh", "Rostam and Tahmineh", "Bijan Manijeh" in Shahnameh) as one of Khorasani"s style and lyric love stories ("Khosro and Shirin" and "Leily Majnoon" by Nezami), As one of the Iraqi style items. The analytical results of this study are as follows: Love in the epic love stories is marginal And love is understood along with the courage, but love in Learic"s love stories is the core of the story and the underlying. In epic love stories, despite love, the lover still maintains his pride and does not sacrifice his beloved, but the lover in the lyric love stories is worthless, painful, and sad. Women, as lovers of epic love stories, are leading the love, active and bold, but in the lyrical, passive and ineffective love stories. The description of the beloved beauty in epic love stories is brief, tangible, but in the lyric love stories, it is very detailed, delicate and imaginative. The depiction of nature in epic love stories is short and tangible, but in lyric romances it is long and imaginative.
