Abstract
In some romantic stories and legends, the pair seeker initially appears as a beast and after marriage, will restore its human face. The stories of animal-groom in the West are influenced by Keivid and Psike by Apolis, and in Iran by Zahhak marriage to Jamshid’s sisters. In accordance with the principle of myth displacement, the base of animal-groom in the Islamic period of time has been adapted to the conditions and religious characteristics and has found a place to remind future generations in mind by expression in the Mystical stories. This story is included in the book of Hezar Hekayat-e Sufeyane and its central theme is the marriage of a wolf to a human girl.
In this paper, initially the the structures of the story is assessed by the story of Zahhak’s marriage to Jamshid’s sisters in Shahnameh Ferdowsi and some Iranian legends of animal-groom. Then, the symbolic aspect of the wolf is checked. In Iranian mythology, this animal is harmful and one of the manifestations of evil, but on the contrary, it is the totemic ancestor of some neighbors and enemies of old Iran. According to the findings of this study, marriage of the human daughter to a werewolf in the mystical tale is linked with exogamy tradition.
