The present article investigates the literary journey of the myth of Siyavash, one of the most known myths of Iran and Central Asia, starting from Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, revising the Persian Sendbadnameh and finally reaching the medieval Spanish work Sendebar. This study aims to outline the way the structure related to the named myth is repeated in the mentioned works and, after a journey from Orient to Occident, it is recovered in the frame story of one of the most important story collections of the Hispanic heritage.

Keywords : Shahnameh; Sendbadnameh; Sendebar; Persian Mythology; Siyavash.
