Abstract

Among the Kurdish Works, although a lot f work has been done on the Epic of Zembîlfiroş, the episodes of the epic have not been stopped much and there is a gap in this regard. In this study we wanted to fill this gap and evaluate the Epic of Zembîlfiroş by the episodes. Through this work the four episodes in the Epik of Zembîlfiroş have been compared according to the four variants of the epic. Selected episodes: place and social status of the heroes, come together of the heroes and their death. Variants have been selected from these boks: Feqiyê Teyran by Xalid Sadinî, Zargotina Kurda I by Ordîxanê Celîl û Celîlê Celîl, Zembîlfiroş by A. Gernas and Folklora Kurmanca by Heciyê Cindî and Emînê Evdal. In all four of these variants as a common episode it can be said that the Xatûn in no way achieves her goal; but on the other hand the names of Zembîlfiroş and Xatûn, the lordship of Zembîlfiroş, the dead of the heroes appear in different colors.
