    abstract = {This study examines and compares the stylistic similarities and metaphors in Shahnameh composed
by Ferdowsi and Borzoonameh composed by Mohammed Koosaj, linguistically and literally. The study
suggests that the largest differentiation and superiority of the Shahnameh epic similes and metaphors than that
of Borzoonameh is the balance and fit in them that creates balance and harmony between the form and content
and genre as a whole, the comparison units of Shahnameh and its coordination are the same as that of the
Iranians’ current century taste and imagination. Breathtaking, superior and specific characteristics of
Shahnameh are the use of simile, metaphor and imagery by Ferdowsi. Ferdowsi ablemind enters the realm of iron
statue of epic imposing and with subtle mastery and skill app. lies vivid metaphor to portrait violent scenes and
voice of swords and cries so beautifully that never seems unusual and separated from the environment. The
outcome of this research can be considered as a scientific answer to the question of the reason behind
popularity and superiority of Shahnameh over other national epics in particular Borzoonameh.}
