Factors that caused these texts should be required this analysis, are storied exclusivity similar and the epic spirit dominate on both; with this difference that in Mantegh-al-tair, epic is mystic and in Paradise of lost epic is more literary. Attar and John Milton have taken of their religious sources in creation their texts. Method explanation narrative of Adam and relate to initial sin to Hawa or Adam, specifies somewhat space truth until allowed in these texts.

3-Discussion
Fariddodin Attar Neishaboori is one of the famous Persian poems that had provided salient celebrity in sixth century and beginning of seventh century. Across his works, Manteghotair, has more common aspects with “Paradise Lost” of Milton. John Milton English poem was burned in December 1608 and the world know him with his excellent oeuvre “Paradise Lost”. This oeuvre has composed in seventeenth century (m.1667). That’s mean after Renaissance (fourteenth century) that theology split of humane tic. In that period holy books (bible) as worthwhile references become attention, hadn’t been researched. However under the influence their era, Milton has not been offended holy book. “Paradise Lost” is one of the English literary masterpieces and is about defiance human of God’s command and laying off him of paradise. Milton in compose 
“Paradise Lost”, in it’s structure influenced of holy book, Talmud also epic works like Iliad and Odyssey, Enid, tragedy ancient Greece, renaissance of Italy French and English… (Falanegan,2007: 12-14).
 
4-Conclusion
-The origin of both works are holy books Quran and Bible Manteghoteir what in terms of selection title that extracted of 16verse Sura naml: “And Solaiman was Dawuds heir and He addressed the people saying: “O, people we have been taught the language of birds and have been bestowed bounties of all kinds, this surely is the sign of Allah’s favor Upon us.” And what in terms of Journey’s conceptual metaphor in Quran that is original subject this Attar’s poetry collection; have Quranic source. Original type of Milton is carefully, subjects of holy book Bible that of course has been mixed with his creativity and literary taste, and has used imaginary language and attractive for creation text.
-Language of both works is symbolic and interpretable that in addition to role of aesthetic, have provided background of most semantic and expand knowledge than metaphysics.
-Milton under the influence mythical views, attributes human traits like angry to God that is inconsistency with not mutilated unitary views and origin Attar’s view namely Quran. But following of concupiscence, devil and don’t obedient of God are most important obstacles human’s way for receive to perfection and most great reasons exit of paradise and descent to earth in “Paradise Lost” that for this research is similar Mantheghotair Attar.
-Both are epic religious gnostic although gnostic point Mantheghtair is rather than religious point of “Paradise Lost”.
-Both have implicated to disincentive preventives of human with this difference that “Paradise Lost” say of human’s descent of paradise and lose his transcendental place but Manteghotair say of human’s ascent of earth and changeable world to paradise and after world.
-Narrative style honor Adam and attribute origin crime, are examples that somewhat denote distance truth until admissible of Manteghotair and “Paradise Lost”.
