Abstract: (1699 Views)
By using the opinions of Claude Levi-Strauss in the study of mythology, the following article tries to answer this question which despite the presence of incest in Ancient Iran and Egypt, why the legends associated with T411 type refuse it in these two lands? According to Levi-Strauss, there is the same structure behind the different appearance of related myths. Decoding of this hidden structure is possible with the help of its similarity with the language structure. Because myth, like language, has structural units called myth-phonemes. By discovering these units and understanding the relationship between them, it becomes clear what messages the interrelated myths convey and how? After checking the legends found based on the mentioned method, it became clear that these legends represent the dualism of the minds of their narrators. Because the opposition of Incest / prohibition of Incest, is the foundation of these legends. This confrontation is itself a result of a conflict that is rooted in the depths of human souls: Duality of Nature and Culture. Since the prohibition of Incest is the point of human disconnection from nature and the beginning of culture, Iranian and Egyptian legends are trying to institutionalize this should / Not should in the audience and so they have a different end from the old religious beliefs.
