Abstract:
Drawing on Gilbert Durand's methodology, the present research examines the relationship between metaphor and myth in the poetry of two Iranian poets, Ahmadrezā Ahmadi and Manūchehr Ātashi. From Durand's perspective, metaphor is a mechanism of understanding and cognitive experience, and myth is known as a symbol of the collective unconscious of man, upon whose unraveling the understanding and receiving of any text depends. The present research aims to examine the extent to which the poems by these two poets align with the categories and structures proposed in Durand’s theoretical framework. The first part of the research deals with the definitions and theories related to metaphor and myth. This implies that metaphor facilitates the understanding abstract concepts through tangible ones and myth interprets and explains natural and social phenomena from a symbolic and unconscious perspective. The research proceeds with a descriptive-analytical method to review the poems of the two poets, using Durand's model and library resources. Accordingly, both poets use metaphor and myth as a tool to express abstract concepts and understand the complexities of existence. The analysis shows that the use of metaphors and myths in the work of both poets is a reflection of their understanding of the world and their efforts to express their mental and spiritual experiences. The findings of this research indicate that metaphor and myth are two intertwined mechanisms which play an important role in understanding the poetry of Ahmadi and Ātashi. These two concepts have been used as expressive and cognitive tools to help the poets convey their experiences and inner feelings.

Introduction Metaphor 1 and myth 2 are two fundamental concepts in the fields of anthropological studies, linguistics, and literature, each playing an important role in shaping and representing meaning, thought, and human perception of the surrounding world.
Main Question: - How do metaphors and myths intertwine in the poems of Ahmad-Reza Ahmadi and Manouchehr Atashi, and what role do they play in shaping the poetic meanings and themes of these two poets?
- How can Gilbert Durand's methodology play a role in the analysis and interpretation of the relationship between metaphor and myth in the poems of Ahmadi and Atashi?
The present research, relying on Gilbert Durand's methodology, examines how metaphor and myth are linked in the poems of Ahmadreza Ahmadi and Manouchehr Atashi and attempts to clarify the different dimensions of this relationship.
In total, metaphor and myth in the poems of Ahmadi and Atashi not only help in creating beautiful and emotional images but also lead to a deeper understanding of human and social issues.
