Abstract
The structural approach is a method that reached its peak of prosperity in the 20th century and allows us to find out the single and recurring principles that create similarities among the narratives in a literary work. Grintser is one of the Russian experts who, by examining the epic works of different civilizations, especially India, tried to present a uniform plan for the structure of epic stories. According to his belief, the hero of epic stories, like the plant god, periodically dies and comes back to life. In this article, while analyzing the theories of structuralists, especially Grintzer, we have tried to examine the structure of the heroic stories of Borzonameh based on Grintzer's theory in order to answer the question, can the epic system of Borzonameh be analyzed with Grintzer's theory? And has the confrontation between the ideas of good and evil, which originates from the pattern of death and resurrection, affected the structure of this story? It seems that the heroic stories of Burzonameh can be analyzed based on Greentser's theory. The hero of the story dies and revives periodically like a plant god, and the narrative texture and characters of the story are influenced by the ideas of good and evil. The working method is the library analysis of the plan of the stories of Borzonameh and its adaptation to the structure of the calendar myths.
