        The mythological narratives have always been accompanied by mysterious indications and implications. One of these surprising things is the transformation of creatures and phenomena into one another. Metamorphosis is a change in the appearance, or identity of a person or a thing through the use of supernatural power. The myths about Iranian gods and goddesses who are created by human imagination can be transformed into different forms and shapes, especially the rulers or heroes living on the earth. Although so far, numerous books and articles have been written about the transformation of mythological phenomena and their analyses, as well as about the myth of Arash-e kamangir (Arash the Archer), the poem of Arash, by Siavash Kasraei is considered to have a mysterious multiplicity due to the re-creation and utilization of the principles of Mithraism and the myth of Mithra (Izad-e Mehr) and its conformity with the conditions of the society of that time. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the instances and aspects of the Metamorphosis of the myth of Mithra into Arash in this article through an innovative and deep examination of the poem. Then, the compatibility between poet’s ideas and social situations will be examined. The results show that the amazing power of Arash in defending his homeland, overcoming the deadlocks and humiliating the enemy through the use of the special Ahurai equipment is due to this metamorphosis, and could have the same function in the poet’s time.

        One of the aspects of analysis in Shahnameh stories is the ability to interpret their myths. Among the stories of Shahnameh, Siavash's story is one of the examples that is appropriate to its previous and subsequent narrations in terms of narration and the connection of vertical and horizontal axes of the story. In this article, Siavash's story has been mythologically analyzed with a combined view and based on structuralist, mythological, and receiving theory approaches. The basis of this analysis is the ritual of familiarity and by using the view of Iliad, we have opened the ritual of entering the narration of Siavash. In this representation, the story from Siavash's birth to the end of Kaykhosrow's acting is considered as a unit and the actions of these two characters are considered to complement each other. According to the research findings, Siavash's rise and fall and then his sinking in Turan Zamin's graveyard is like sinking a seed in the soil; It is as if the story remains unfinished in this part, so much so that on the other hand, with the emergence of Kaykhosrow away from the eyes of Aghiar and his boasting in the same land of Turan, the story leads to self-sufficiency. Symbolic signs and evidence in the text of this story unit, such as: mountain, midwife, crossing the water, symbolic animal, test, etc., strengthen the concept of familiarity in it. Manuscript profile
