  Simorgh and Phoenix, as mythical creatures, have different visual effects and images in every literary genres. The claim that this study seeks to prove is that these birds have many existential characteristics that any literary genre, according to its context, pays attention to, and this point is quite obvious in the transition of classical poetry to the New-Persian one. Accordingly, in order to prove this claim, the similarities and existential differences between Simorgh and Phoenix in the prominent examples of epic, mystical and modern poetry are examined, and the differences between Nima's view from this perspective is studied and analyzed as well. The present study aims to answer two fundamental questions: What changes are occurred in the image clusters of Simorgh and Phoenix in the transition from epic and mysticism to modern Persian poetry? To what extent does the poetic image of Phoenix in Nima's poem "Phoenix" represent a new look that he sought to design and expand in modern Persian poetry from the pictorial poetics point of view? The results of this study represent that Nima uses Phoenix in a symbolic structure via utilizing the familiarity of the Iranian human mind with the images of Simorgh and Phoenix. Furthermore, this time he employs the phoenix in a symbolic structure, overcoming the objectivist aspect of his poetry and presents his socio-political thought, while the aspect of the poem always prevailed in the symbolic poems before him. In addition to presenting the complete and, of course, short narration of this poem, the findings shows Nima's new attempt to replace "the image instead of the specification", thanks to the coherence of the poetic images.
