Man from the beginning of his creation has faced with many questions and curiosity. He considers everything in life as vague. The insufficient information about the creation of mankind since the beginning of the world around him led man unconsciously to glorify many natural and unnatural elements, or to consider them as gods and to take refuge on them because of the fear about the events surrounding him, or he believed in them as gods in addition to his belief in unique God. So, as a result myth and world’s mythological principles were created. Some poets have reflected various mythological discussions in their poems. One of the poets whose poems can be viewed in terms of myth is the eighth century’s poet, Khajouye Kermani. In this paper we examine the mythological elements in Khajouye Kermani’s poems especially the mythological gods to whom he implores, and then compare them to other nation’s myths. Generally, in Khajou’s implorings, the general myth is manifested in the three ways:
- Elements which are categorized as mythological deities and are directly worshiped.
- Mythological deities who are not directly implored, but have a role in the different characters’ imploring in Khajou’s poems.
- Elements which in spite of having a mythological background are not considered as mythological deities, but are implored.
