The Pattern of the "Hero" in the Stories of "Ashiqlar"

The influence of languages ​​on each other and the cultural connections of nations are inevitable. The stories also have migrated from a land to another and were affected by the target people, but sometimes the similarities of the stories are not due to their influence, rather, they are the result of commonalities of perception which have emerged at different times and geographical areas. Sometimes, the study of the mythological themes and the similarities of some stories among different ethnic groups show their unity and common perception. One of these perceptions is the myth of the hero. However, these archetypes sometimes have differences that are related to the culture and religion of the narrator. This article studies the archetypes of the "hero" and its differences with the western patterns in 24 stories of "Ashiqlar". In these stories, two different elements appear, which are the distinguishing feature of Ashiqlarchr('39')s stories from the other lyrical poems: One is his assistant dervishes and his honorable apple, which marks the birth of the hero; another is the appearance of the old man with the wine cup in the herochr('39')s dream, which calls him to individuality and then the hero who is given wine becomes a true lover.
