Purpose: The epic of Beowulf and the Seven Khans of Esfandiyar are epics in which the battle with a dragon is described as a significant event; in the Seven Khans of Esfandiyar, where the dragon appears in the third,s Khan, it is killed by Esfandiyar's intelligence and skill, whereas in the epic of Beowulf, in addition to Beowulf killing the dragon, this battle is also the cause of Beowulf's death; it should be noted that in both epics, the dragon is depicted as a malevolent force and an anti-hero. The aim of this research is to examine the motif of the battle with the dragon in the two epic narratives of Shahnameh and Beowulf, to identify the similarities and differences present in both works.
Method/research: This research was conducted using a library-based method. In this research, the authors aim to examine the battle with the dragon as one of the most prominent heroic indicators in a comparative approach with the epic Beowulf.
Findings/conclusion: In this study, the reasons for the hero's fight with the dragon have been analyzed and examined, concluding that the theme of war and battle in heroic texts is one of the core themes of an epic narrative, and the motif of battling a dragon is an essential and recurring feature for a hero in most epics around the world, with the theme of both epics revolving around the conflict of good versus evil and ultimately the triumph of good over evil and the malevolent.
