Abstract
The consideration of myth and epic, especially the national ones, is one of the main bases in the linguistic and semantic context of Persian literature following Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh which has continued to be significant in each era in line with literary changes and in proportion to the social conditions of that era. With the Islamic Revolution and the Imposed War, there appeared a deeper consideration of the different aspects of resistance poetry. In addition, the tendency for the epic which was an essential feature of this type of poetry increased. This result in the fact that many poets used epic language to describe the valor of the warriors of the Sacred Defense. In this article, Nasrollah Mardani’s poems have been studied because they are characterized by mythical elements and epical language. Results show that considering his interest in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh and the sociopolitical atmosphere of the time, Mardani has used national mythology and epic language, mingling epic language with the lyrical language to fashion new capacities for myth and epic in his poetry in proportion to new needs for expression.
