The war imposed by Iraq against Iran is one of the influential events and incidents in the political history of contemporary Iran, which affected various aspects of the individual and social life of the Iranian people, including artists, poets and writers. Literature, especially Persian poetry, as one of the areas that reflect human thoughts and ideas, has depicted these changes and transformations. With the beginning of the war imposed by Iraq against Iran, the poets of the field of literature of stability and sacred defense tried to use the help of various religious and national myths in the poetry of this field, the lost identity and ancient values in order to strengthen the national, patriotic and spiritual spirit of the Iranian nation. Warriors revive. The purpose of the upcoming research is to investigate national, ritual and religious myths in the poetry of the poets of the holy defense and the literature of sustainability.

This research is a descriptive-analytical approach based on library studies and the sand analysis method, which, using the knowledge of mythology, tries to explain the elements of national and religious myths in the poems of Qaisar Aminpour, Seyed Hassan Hosseini, Nasrullah Mardani and Salman Herati.

The findings of this research indicate that the poets of Persian language and literature in various fields and fields, including sustainable literature, have still maintained their intellectual connection with the mysterious and sacred sources of ancient Iranian and religious myths; The use of myth in the poetry of these poets is more aimed at stimulating and motivating the audience.

The results of this research, by examining the works, show that the aforementioned poets have paid more attention to the sacred role and function of religious legends, in order to thereby compare the bravery of martyrs, warriors, sacrificers and heroes of the battlefield in comparison to the heroes of religious legends, including Draw Imam Hussain (a.s.) In addition to using religious myths, national and ancient myths such as the myth of Ruyin Teni Esfandiar, Rostam, Passing Haft Khwan, Simorgh (Anqa) and Dhahhak have also been significantly used.

Citizen and citizenship are relatively new terms in the field of sociological and political studies. The citizen is always defined in a reciprocal relationship; He is a person who, on the one hand, has political and civil rights and, on the other hand, has duties under the law in question. Social movements are defined as a collective effort in which individuals achieve predetermined ideals. Social movements are organized for specific purposes and by informal institutions. Of course, in Shahnameh, the word citizen is not mentioned. Ferdowsi in some cases uses the word urban versus soldier to distinguish civilians from military. However, based on the evidence presented in the current study as well as the definition of citizen in sociological and political science culture, the word Iranian refers to Iranian citizens in the Shahnameh. The two selected movements (one from the epic part of the Shahnameh and the other from the historical part) testify to the robust presence and full participation of Iranian citizens in social movements for the realization of justice and law. This research has been done analytically and descriptively using library and electronic resources.

The war imposed by the aggressive regime of Iraq against Iran prepared the ground for very influential events in the intellectual, cultural, political and social history of Iran. Various aspects of this issue have been represented in poetry and literature, inspiring poets and revolutionary artists to write poems and create seminal works. The purpose of the research is to analyze the intellectual and internal connection of national and religious myths in the poetry of the poets of the first generation of the Revolution. The method of this research, which is a descriptive-analytical one, is based on library sources, where a collection of poets of the first generation of the Islamic Revolution were studied. The findings of the research indicate that revolutionary poets, especially after the outbreak of the war imposed by Iraq, adopted a mythological approach to sacred defense and used national and religious mythical symbols such as Rostam, Arash, Kaveh, Dahhak and also paid attention to the uprising of Imam Hussein and Ashura, the love sacrifice of Ishmael, the story of Khyber and the myth of Imam Ali, Hazrat-e Abbas, etc. to persuade, encourage and praise the heroes and brave men in the battle against wrongdoers. The connection of these myths in their poetry, in addition to its aesthetic function, has been a very suitable tool for explaining the ideal goals and the mission of poetry in attracting, persuading and motivating the audience, hence creating a suitable context for the representation of national and religious heroes.

Hearing the term "epic" mostly evokes the works such as Shahnameh in minds and accepting Khavaran Nameh as a subcategory of literary – epic work is difficult for most of the people; since the main character of such works is real, historic and religious. Epic is one of the descriptive poetries which is based on description of heroes' glorious acts which can be individual or tribal. Religious epic traces a long path in our country since ancient era. Khavaran Nameh is one of the old religious ones for the Shiites in which the main subject is journey and Imam Ali's fights with Eastern countries accompanied with Malik Al Ashtar. Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is the greatest and most valid epic verse. Comparison of national epic and religious one based on Shahnameh and Khavaran Nameh is the main aim of the present research.
