Abstract
Narrative, whether in prose or in verse has varying forms in the world and the narrator's (poet or writer) viewpoint to express the narrative is the reason behind the variety in the forms of literary narrative. Narrative expression of myths and legends is considerable in the poems of the committed poets to have more impact on the reader as well as providing a context for the expression of what is impossible to explicitly and clearly state in the social and political conditions prevalent in the society.
The present research studies narration of myths and legends in the works of two contemporary Iranian and Iraqi modernist poet, Mahdi Akhavan Sales and Badr Shaker Al-Sayyab. The findings show that a narrative poem by these poets is not a reconstruction of myths and legends but expressing a modern theme and notion in the form of legendary story. Akhavan and Sayyab use myths and legends to express their revolutionary objectives; although, failure in achieving their goals leads to their frustration and hopelessness. In these circumstances the epic space of the legends turns into pain and agony along with hopelessness.
