%X The epics, unlike mythologies, have included not only the history of the gods but also the history of human heroes. Thus, in time, the ideological concurrence of the epics began to take the synchronicity of history. Of course, the importance of writing technology cannot be rejected in the history of the epic. In fact, epics conveyed through writing contribute to the formation of more chronological time perception. Because the writing also reinforced the chronological time perception. Iran, which is one of the first regions in which historical written culture existed, has also been a geography where oral tradition plays a significant role. Especially in this geography, history has been reshaped under the influence of the type of epic which has been shaped in the patronage of political authorities. Even in Iranian historiography, epics have been taken into consideration rather than annual chronicles. In other words, Iranian historians have treated history as epic. Because Iranian rulers also wanted this. Thus, as in many historical events, historical documents of the Karbala case were consciously based on epic narratives. For example, Karbala narratives in the Iranian variant, the so-called last king of Sassanid III. Yazdgird's daughter Shahrbanu and Hussein bin Ali was married. What is even more interesting was the fact that Imam Zeynalabidin, the descendant of the two, was the only person to survive the destruction of the Karbala and continue the Imamate. Although the social and political dimensions of this event need to be evaluated, the role of folk narratives in changing the course of history is important
