چکیده:
Mythological narratives are always accompanied by mysterious and symbolic allusions and implications, and these wonders, in the logic of myth, are nothing more than the beliefs, desires, and longings of ancient humans to escape the ambiguities and complexities of existence; one of these astonishing matters is the metamorphosis of beings and phenomena into one another, which is itself the result of ancient creativity and an indicator of the various psychological, social, linguistic, temporal, and spatial manifestations of humans in ancient periods. These metamorphoses sometimes take on special forms in epic texts. In Asadi Tusi's 'Garshaspnameh', one of these metamorphoses is the emergence of a 'snake' from human 'blood' in the narrative of 'Bana-ye Sistan'. This essay has attempted to reveal the mystery of this wonder by referring to some clues and evidence and analyzing them; an effort that can explain the creation of the 'snake' from 'blood' through allegorical and sometimes paradoxical concepts such as survival, authority, life, stability, and also autocratic antagonisms. The reflection of this phenomenon in Asadi Tusi's Garshaspnameh is a testament to the authenticity and antiquity of this great epic poem and is itself a compendium of the mysterious details in ancient Iranian myths.

The Metamorphosis of Blood into a Snake in Garshasp-name Nasrollah Emami * Mohammadreza Salehi Mazandarani ** Noshin Malgard *** Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz Abstract Mythological narratives are always accompanied by mysterious and symbolic references and connotations, and these wonders, in the logic of myth, are nothing more than the ancient beliefs, desires, and wishes of ancient humans to escape the ambiguities and complexities of existence; one of these amazing phenomena is the metamorphosis of beings and phenomena into one another, which is itself the result of ancient creativity and an indicator of the various psychological, social, linguistic, temporal, and spatial manifestations of humans in ancient periods.
Among ancient mythological texts, Asadi Tusi's Garshasp-name, as a great and diverse work, manifests some types of metamorphoses, the most prominent and mysterious of which is the conversion and metamorphosis of "blood" into a "snake" in the narrative of "the building of Sistan.
2. Discussion and Analysis Asadi Tusi's Garshasp-name is a product of time, place, intellectual and social currents, and ancient mythological narratives that, like Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, has been created in such a way as to sing of some of the manifestations of the civilization and culture of Iran in the form of a heroic epic.
(See: Frazer, 1388: 240) Thus, it is possible that in the core of Asadi's narrative and his ancient sources, Garshasp also sought to use the latent power in the blood of three thousand people for the survival of the city of Sistan as much as possible and to attain embodied authority; although with a kind of metamorphosis in this transfer, meaning the emergence of a terrifying and venomous snake.
