چکیده مقاله

Many myths are founded on contrasts. Myths talk about the alteration of sadness and happiness, love and hate, despair and hope, fear and courage, gratitude and ingratitude, or anger and dissipating it on the elements of existence, and in this way, they help a person to recognize good from evil. In religious mythology, animals such as pigeons, Eurasian hoopoes, roosters, horses, bats, sheep, ants, crows, dogs, pigs, snakes, vipers, donkeys, lizards and termites have been hated or abandoned. The mythological image of each animal replicates its symbolic role in religious literature. These contrasts are expressed in order to value religious knowledge and rites. The arrangement and processing of the information in this research have been done descriptively and analytically in important Persian interpretations up to the 6th century.
