Mythology is among the subjects that merit research and study, as it encompasses multiple dimensions shedding light on its intellectual and cultural roots. This study stems from a series of inquiries centered on the nature and origins of myths, the relationship between Arab and Western myths, and the historical precedence between the two. It also seeks to verify the existence of what is known as the "Tammuzian Movement." Additionally, the research explores how Badr Shakir al-Sayyab and Adonis employed myth and symbolism to express suppressed and prohibited themes amidst the oppression and injustice they experienced, utilizing love and war as dual modes of expression for such issues. The study focuses on two pivotal myths in modern Arabic literature: "Babylon," as utilized by al-Sayyab, and "The Phoenix," as employed by Adonis. It seeks to analyze how these two poets managed to use symbols and myths to reframe societal and political issues through a profound and artistically compelling lens.
