Abstract

Some of the epic references that have been kept in Uneditedshahnamehs and today are no longer part of Shahnameh or in other Epic Mathnavis, following Shahnameh and because of the fame of Shahnameh, its stories or existed in naqqali scrolls and epic oral stories are classified as epic talismans. The literary return period is one of the most important literary periods.The epic implications in the poetry of this period show the awareness and dominance of poets, on epic sources of oral, naqqali, national, historical, as well as the popularity of accepting epic stories other than Shahnameh. The present paper, in a descriptive manner, with the approach of content analysis, has examined and categorized the divans of five poets of the literary return period such as SohbatLari, Fath Ali Khan Saba, Qaani, Soroush and DavariShirazi from this perspective, and extracted, analyzed and categorized fifteen allusion to the minor and lesser-known national-epic stories, and finally presented the frequency of such an implication in the Five Poets' Divan with a table and a statistical chart. It should be noted that the study and analysis of such allusions has led to the clarification of some problems of Shahnameh research.
