However، this book does not operate according to the twentieth century mythical critic approach، but in Iran''s myths study، it exhibits modern conclusions and achievements in comparative mythology and in this way، compares unfamiliar Arabic and Turkish''s myths with similar Iranian samples that have not been studied in any research so far. This paper has tried firstly to clarify the myth relation and functioning of mythology in comparative literature and then introduce Hossein Mojib Al-Mesri''s achievements. Then in a more limited scope، it reviews his theories that he received from Iran''s myths. In the end، it shows the existing common points between Persian myths with Arabic and Turkish samples in two sections of religious and historical myths. The purpose of this essay is revealing the potential capabilities of Islamic nations'' myths. It also recommend the necessary changes، which must occur in one-sided and unilateral views of Iranian or Non Iranian mythologists.
