Abstract: (105 Views)
Tragedy is a type of dramatic literature that originated from ancient Greece and is performed on the stage in the form of a play. The great Greek philosopher Aristotle was one of the first to fully discuss and explain tragedy in his book The Poetics. He has introduced elements and components for composing a tragedy that plays an important role in the quality, attractiveness, and superiority of the tragedy.
In Persian literature, some works are a reflection of ancient Greek tragedies and Aristotle's view on this matter; Among the most prominent of these works is Ferdowsi's Shahnameh with stories that are very similar to ancient Greek tragedies. The present research aims to show the similarity and influence of Persian literature with Greek literature in the field of tragedy and with a descriptive-analytical method to compare the story of Siavash from the Shahnameh and the tragedy of Hippolytus by Euripides as a case study and has shown this alignment and effectiveness.
