The conceptual metaphors of death in the story of Siavash in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh are studied in this article based on Lakoff and Johnson’s linguistic theory of conceptual metaphor. The researchers find that the concept of death is reflected in six mega-metaphors, “death is humiliation”; “death is war”; “death is breach of promise”; “death is the end”; “death is revenge” and “death is mourning”. We have studied each of these mega-metaphors in the context of the narrative and attempted to shed light on the concept of death in Ferdowsi’s view by bringing example lines from Shahnameh. The study is conducted with an analytical-descriptive method and concludes that Ferdowsi’s view of death in the story of Siavash is different for each of the characters of the story. In fact, Ferdowsi introduces the concept of death differently in accordance with the status of each of the characters in the narrative. In the story of Siavash, Ferdowsi identifies the death of the first character of the story as his main function. Ferdowsi believes that Siavash’s death is his beginning since with his death, a thirst for revenge develops throughout Iran and makes his purpose, which was the elimination of evil, to be realized and the land of Touran is cleansed from the rule of Afrasiab and his relatives.
