Abstract

The present research examines and analyzes the archetype of the miraculous birth of the hero in some folk legends of Khor and Biabank in a descriptive-analytical way. The amazing, miraculous and unconventional birth of the hero is a very important element in the beginning of folk stories, which starts the story with a prophecy about the fate of the character or the description of his characteristics, which is a sign of the presence of the hero in the story. This research shows that the birth of the hero in a number of legends of Khor and Biabank has a mythological aspect. In these stories, the hero is usually born to prominent parents, sometimes the hero is a prince.
