Abstract :

  Plato's rejection of Poetry and Aristotle's ideas on poetry, instigated a literary discussion in which "commitment" and "performance" have been two controversial topics. Homer's Iliad is one of the first works that has been studied from this point of view. A discussion of commitment and performance requires a consideration of two elements, namely, the writer's intentions and conditions of the era. The present article tries to make comparisons of Ilad and Shānāmeh.
