Some tragedies were created in Ancient Rome with a purpose rather than play on the stage. Therefore, in Medieval and the Renaissance, the element of being dramatic, was not considered as the main factor regarding the study of tragic artwork. Moreover, in contemporary era, the features of tragedy is searchable in novels and poetry.Shahname, written by Ferdowsi, an epic poetry, consists of some tales that can be taken into account as tragedy. A heroic story which ends in catastrophe, engages the human mind with philosophical subjects, brings leniency to the heart and purifies the soul.
The authors intend to search for the key elements of Greek tragedy in two tragic stories, Shahname by Ferdowsi, Siyavash and Foroud. The results of the study indicates that these two stories are not fine examples of Greek tragedy and the main factor for differentiation is the narrative style of Shahname which does not match Greek tragedyReceived: 2019/02/18 | Accepted: 2019/04/22 | Published: 2019/12/21
