Abstract

The story of the twentieth century is one of aggression, disasters and destruction. Nowadays, authors have been faked and retold the old myths but also have been inspired from them, deformed and mixed with other myths and even created new myths. Also these deformations have occurred in the works of some Iranian novelists. Iranian novelist changes myths and ancient narratives. Writers of this article have been studied reasons of myth usage and its transformation in Persian novels with the use of content analyzing method. In accordance with findings of this research, the most important reasons of changes in structure and usage of myths in new Persian novels are criticizing the metaphysical values, battle with dominant political discourse, individualism and struggle with the mythic thoughts in the society. Authors of these novels have been tried to challenge some political and cultural beliefs of Iran contemporary society by the method of myths deformation.
