description It could be said that Nezami’s Haft Peikar is a book about the unity of Hero and his holy joining to his Anima which leads to a sort of self-awareness according to a variety of symbols or meaningful metaphors. The appearance of collective unconscious archetypes of this book put it in an aura of ambiguity that cannot be understood unless by psychological approaches to myth. The archetype of “archetypal woman” or “archetypal mother” in symbolic travel of Bahram and his different steps of self-awareness examinations is a movement from the deepest layer of darkness to the heart of lightning. In the stories of this book, some kind of deficiency and lockage in Hero’s psych cause him to move and travel to open the unknown windows. According to Nezami’s report, the mysterious life of Bahram changed him into a mythical hero that at the end of his life was an aware man who reached a kind of metaphysical individuation. The main concern of this article is the Bahram’s travel which happened in order to reach a kind of regeneracy and the consequence of events and their internal connections empower the self-awareness process of the Hero. The aim, by revealing the psychological side of myth and analyzing the symbolic elements in HaftGonbad’s stories, is to investigate the internal connections between stories and make all fictional actions and reactions meaningful in line with improving the Hero’s metaphysical side. It should be said that the approach of this article is analytical-descriptive.
