A Critical Reading for Classifying the Types of Kurdish Myths
Sirwan Jabar Amin, Rizgar Abdulla Ahmed
Mythology is one of the oldest literary genres and its history dates back to the early stages and also is a repository of primitive human knowledge content, therefore many mythology researchers in many nations based on their comprehension, have categorized myths into various classifications. Kurdish literature, like other nations, has a collection of mythological texts and studies of mythology. However, what makes Kurdish literature different is that, scholars have discussed and theorized about the question of myths and how to categorize the various types of myths but has not been revealed based on global mythology or other nations. This suggests that our understanding of Kurdish mythology may not be comprehensive, since there remains an undisputed collection of Kurdish myths that widely accepted. There is a gap in Kurdish mythology that is considered to be a serious issue in categorizing forms of Kurdish myths. Finding numerous problems and challenges associated with categorizing the types of myths in Kurdish studies, led to do this research under the title of, (A Critical Reading for Classifying the Types of Kurdish Myths), which takes into account the division of myth types and the classification of researchers and experts in the field of mythology. Additionally, the study provides a critical evaluation of the classification of myths in two master theses that have been published as books, besides identifying problems and issues related to the types of these categories.
