Abstract:
In this article we compare two epic Heroes from two different environments, Rustam from the Iranian epic literature and Kocholin from the Irish Dramatic Literature. A comparative study of those two heroes allowed us to evaluate and assess the theatrical and narrative possibility and capability of Ferdowsi’s Rustam and Sohrab story. When taking into consideration and comparing the action of Rustam and Kocholin, the importance of our study becomes comprehensible since both of them ended up killing their own son.
In this study, the decisions, undertakings and actions of the two heroes from the beginning till the end of their stories was compared thoroughly and we showed that between those two epics many similarities exist, which indicate that the stories might have a common source.
Keywords: Key words : Epic literature, Iran, Ireland, Rustam, Kocholin."Yakoliya and her loneliness" is one of the best long stories in Persian
