Persian Myths

This book invites you to delve into the mysteries of one of the most enigmatic and yet influential Middle Eastern cultures and to learn about the gods worshipped by the ancient Indo-Iranians, what they contemplated in sacred texts, how they... perceived the rest of the world, and what heroes they left as a legacy to world culture beyond the biblical Magi and the prophet Zoroaster.
