Abstract

The fusion of human life with non-human and nature in the era of myth and prehistory was such that man took the first steps in the way of knowing and interacting with his environment. He had a mysterious view of the natural world and saw his life as tied to the survival of other creatures. Natural epics speak of such a world. Considering the changes that have taken place in the relationship between man and nature and the change in the attitude and view of man towards nature and other creatures, this question can be asked about the works of adaptation of natural epics: to what extent did the adaptor The original has been consistent and to what extent has it been used in the narrative in accordance with the view and thought and even the environmental needs of today's man?In this research, with a descriptive-comparative method and with an ecological approach, to describe and compare the relationship between man and nature in the story of Kiyomarth of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh and its adaptation; That is, the first king of the world, by Mohammad Reza Yousefi, and we have answered this question. The obtained result showed that in the story of Kiyomarth of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, an interactive view between man and nature can be observed. Kiyomarth is a wise and wise Pasha, with whom humans and non-humans live peacefully. They learn religion and rituals from him, and their only enemy is the devil who tries to disrupt the harmonious system of man and nature
