Social Dimensions of Man in Shahnameh and Mahabharata

Faranak Siyanatand and Nasrin Mozafari

Abstract

The beginning of human lives in human communities is inevitable because human's evolution would take place in these structures. People's Physical and psychological needs are born and grown in these social structures. If these relations and transactions were not complex, there would never be any goodness or evilness, and beauty or ugliness in human's life. That is why every aspect of human's life intertwined in human's societies. Society and human are in a two-sided relationship which remains together to show their both bright and dark sides. Firdausi's Shahnameh and Mahabharata are respectively two great ancient epics of Iran and India which each one according to the context of its society has its distinct characters. Although it goes without saying that human societies have different religions and beliefs, what the historical process will show is the progress of each of them which each religion aims to present a distinctive, unique pattern of human beings' prosperity and happiness. Society is the same as a live stream in which human beings are the connected drops of a river, and in a general overview all are moving to become the sea. The means of this movement are nothing except humans' unique social aspects. In this relation, Mahabharata and Shahnameh also have particular, vivid views which this study attempts to refer to some of these cases.
