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. You will find captivating tales about legendary heroes of Indo-Iranian mythology: about the fire god-creator Ahura Mazda and the thousand-eyed god of peace and order Mithra, who was worshipped by Roman emperors, about the twists of love between King Khosrow and the beautiful Shirin, about the heroes Rustam and Siyavush, and the magical bird Simurgh, depicted on the coat of arms of the band Queen.
