Abstract
Ferdowsi’s Shahname which is known by literary-epic type, express different topics such as mythological, heroic, historical, and sometimes love and wisdom stories (Romance), with epic tune. Lots of discussions have been done about literary-epic type and mythological style, but there is less consideration to epic tune, which is the basis of creating a literary-epic style and type. Tune of any artwork is resultant of various elements like discourse, narrative and lingual spaces; in this article we discuss about lingual space in detail and in order to recognition of epic tune, the way of its creation and also the function, we studied the first 400 verses of mythological part of Shahname at four level of phonetic, lexical, grammatical and rhetorical, that lexical level had the most prominent effect in creating epic tune.
