1. Introduction

Since the beginning of history, mankind has been surprised and amazed when facing the world. In order to survive and continue his life, man has always been trying to transform the chaotic world into an orderly world Therefore, the first place where the myth appeared was the place where it was tried to transform the chaotic world into an orderly world. Here, there are two very important issues, i.e., the origin and function of mythology, which the following article tries to explain by addressing them. In this article, we seek to show that myths are closely related to power and their function is not only the interpretation of the human world Rather, the purpose of myths is to control and weaken a thought or a group and empower another group Based on this, in this article, we have examined the traces of the myth in a very famous Iranian novel. The name of this famous novel is "shohar ahoo Khanom".And according to this article's specific definition of the concept of myth, we have reviewed this novel.
 

Literature Review

Many books and treatises have been written about the myth. Most of these researches have defined myths as a kind of neutral discourse We believe that myth is not a neutral discourse. Myth is a type of discourse that is related to power and power relations With this definition of the myth, we have examined the novel of "shohar Ahoo Khanom". Many researchers have considered this novel as a kind of feminist novel. But according to the new concept of myth, we have done another reading of this novel, which is different from the researchers' opinions.
 

Methodology

This article has first extracted the concept of myth among the theories of great mythologists. In this section, important books and articles have been studied. And then by studying the novel "shohar e ahoo khanom", the position of creation myth has been traced in this novel. Then, with a kind of content analysis method, a new reading of this novel has been expressed according to a specific understanding of the myth. In this way The research was done with the qualitative content analysis method and based on library sources.
 

Conclusion

Most of the theories that have been proposed about myths have not considered the important aspect of this discourse. Based on this, it was shown in this article that the myth of creation is a discourse related to power. Therefore, if the myth of creation was used in the past as the primary form of law and norm, in the relations of the new world, despite the dominance of modern rationality and the marginalization of myth and myth, it has found a kind of ideological function. In this article, we have shown that the novel Shohar Ahoo khanom is a scene where the myth of creation has re-emerged with the same historical coordinates and with little changes. In fact, in this novel, although the characters have changed and its secular and earthly form has been noticed, but the theoretical foundations have not changed. In the sense that this myth also comes from a power This institution of power, according to the issues of the new world, is a patriarchal system that has been very old in human history. The creation myth of Adam and Eve has been recreated in the form of Seyedmiran and Homa Zandi in the novel and This time it has been used in order to restrain and weaken the progressive woman who threatens the patriarchal order.
