Abstract :
Iranians are the people with ancient traditions and culture. Their folkloric works are rich and reflective of their beliefs. So far, there have been various approaches to the study of folklore, each focusing on different aspects such as content, structure, style, language, and so on. The present article studies “the unity of form and content” in popular tales, concentrating on two of them, chosen from Jame’ al-Hekayat. Its main purpose, which distinguishes it from the previous researches on the subject, is to find the relationship between content and form, the way they match in the course of a tale, the process of forming a tale, and the elements involved in forming the Iranian ancient tales.
