The systematic collection of Zoroastrian myths and legends in literary and artistic retelling continues the tradition of domestic popular publications dedicated to the most significant mythologies of the Ancient World - Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome, China, India. The book consistently sets out myths about the creation of the world, the legendary history of Iran, the biography of the prophet Zarathushtra and Zoroastrian ideas about the end of the world and the “Last Judgment”; translations of the originals are organically woven into the artistic fabric of the text. Commentaries, which are both statements of basic scientific hypotheses and theories, and the author’s own conclusions, contribute to the understanding of the material. The influence of Zoroastrianism on medieval culture, in particular, on such a literary monument as the Shahnameh, is separately considered. The presence of a dictionary allows you to use the book as a reference guide on Zoroastrian religion and mythology. The text is supplemented by a detailed introduction and a chronological table of the history of Zoroastrian Iran. For a wide range of readers.
