Mithras is one of the oldest mythical, religious, and cultural characters of Indian and Aryan tribes.

Mithras too one of the gods and common characters the two old people, which after the separation, his special position with both retained.The present study tries to study Mithras based on the oldest indigenous and Iranian populations and by direct reference to Rig Veda and Avesta, it seeks to stamp the role of the intellectual-cultural context of these tribes in determining the actions and characteristics of a mythical face. The findings show that the common actions and attributes of the goddess are rooted in the period of the unity of these tribes and the root of the differences in this mythical face must be found in the Iranian branch and after the physical and spiritual separation of the Indian branch. So, after ethnic separation, intellectual and cultural differences also appear in common mythical characters. These characteristics and influences have evolved or evolved under the influence of cultural context and social factors.

One of the goals of comparative literature is to explore the common layers of literary, cultural and social communities and nations.

Causal Layered Analysis in Futures Research Methodology as a new way in a future study at four levels analyzes the past, present and future effects: Litany level, Social causes, Structure, and the discourse, Metaphor and myth level. By providing a systematic way of extracting the myth from the text, in this research, the fourth layer, which is shared by the mythocritic of comparative literature, to analyze and understand of three narrative texts: the liberation of three hundred prisoners by Hallaj in Tazkerat ol Oliya of Attar, the liberation of men by Prometheus in Enchained Prometheus, and the liberation of Peter imprisoned by an Angel in The Bible. In the text of Peter, Peter does not receive any human help. A supernatural force helps Peter. It can also be pointed out that for the uprising and rebellion against the ruling power in a community in the West, the persecutor must have a holy color to be accepted by the community. In the event that, in the Iranian story of Hallaj, this man is responsible for his own destiny and is not waiting for another force, and the rebellious person must pass his life so that the rest follow him. In Prometheus, like in Peter, humans do not play any role.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the capacities and trends of the literary text in the transformation into a computer game by analyzing the descriptive-analytical method by examining the part of inferno from the text of Dante's Divine Comedy and its adaptation game. The main question to answer is that the Ardavirafname of Persian classical literature, given the structural and content similarities with the Divine Comedy, will have the capabilities to reproduce in the form of a computer game. With this description, it is possible to conclude from the simultaneous review of the game and the text of inferno and to compare the artifacts with it, it can be concluded that the fictional framework of both the literary works is similar, and the narrative of the artifacts is also reinforced by the struggle, suspension, and complementary narratives, The ability to become a fitting story of the game is adapted. The heroes of both texts have common characteristics and, like the game of inferno, one can remove the characters in a descriptive way, and by turning the function and the active connections into desirable characters for an adaptation game. The space and place described in Dante's text and detailed in the adaptation game is faithfully reproduced, and in terms of both qualitative and symbolic expressions, the visualization function has the same capability and has the capacity to be amplified and expanded descriptions and spatial images are becoming an appropriate place to create a multi-stage adaptive computer game.
