Origin myths in classical Turkish poetry between sacred and mythology

In general, mythology explores the creation of the world, where it will go, how the gods came into existence and where people came from. Origin myths were evaluated as special myths apart from general myths and these myths are complementary to other myths. Origin myths are myths which express how an object, a tradition, an entity first emerged how these became sanctified and shaped around a belief. In this respect, it is also sacred and sustainable. The first emergence (origin) of many objects, events and traditions in Islamic belief is seen as divine origin. Although the narratives developed around these are of sacred origin, they have been enriched with mythological elements and reflected in literary texts at the same time. Examples of this reflection are often encountered in classical Turkish poetry, which is a product of Islamic civilization. This study primarily aims to identify, classify and analyze the examples of origin myths between the sacred and mythology seen in classical Turkish poetry. While all these are being carried out, in this study, the narratives encountered within the subject in other beliefs outside the world of Islamic thought are mainly given in a way suitable for comparison. It is one of the most important aspects of the study to determine that the beliefs and narratives about how things such as assets, objects, traditions, professions, important days, rituals, sacred places, inventions, bad traits and celestial bodies are used as a literary material in classical Turkish poetry. The diversity of the sections that make up the study shows the richness of classical Turkish poetry in this regard.
