Eloquence of Reiteration in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh

Epics deal with bravery and war. It is overwhelmed with striking events, and exaggeration is a figure of speech commonly used in epics due to its extremist nature. Consequently, exaggeration is one of the major figures of speech evidenced in Shahnameh. Meanwhile, exaggeration is only one of the tools employed for emphasis in literary works to affect the addressee in a desired way. Emphasis, as well as formal, intellectual, and semantic aspects of poetry are particularly correlated with iteration, and they can be studied from difference perspectives, e.g. phonetics, stylistic linguistics, Grammar (structural and functional), eloquence (rhetoric, felicity and originality). Our papers employs a descriptive-analytic method to study the Hamavaran War in Shahnameh. The findings indicate that Ferdowsi incorporated rhetoric aspects (procession, suspension, bounding, etc.) in his eloquence reiteration, as well as repetition and adverbial emphasis from grammatical point of view. He also utilized the intonation of key rhyme and row words from a musical perspective more often than exaggeration to consolidate his style and structure. From stylistic perspective, he employed semantic and verbal clusters in the overall structure and whole set of the story to create more prominent reiterative aspects in his unique masterpiece which embodied Fedowsi's poetic capabilities
