      Zarathustra. Image found in Syria (circa 3rd century AD). Zarathustra in a Phrygian cap. Zoroaster is a real historical person. He comes from a poor family, from the Spitam clan, his father's name was Purushaspa, his mother was Dugdova. His own name – Zarathushtra – in the ancient Pahlavan language (of Iranian origin, Indo-European family) can mean "possessing a golden camel" or "one who leads a camel." It should be noted that the name is quite common. It is unlikely that it belonged to a mythological hero. Zoroaster (in Russia his name is traditionally pronounced in Greek) was a professional priest, had wives and daughters. In his homeland (the region of the Southern Urals and Central Asia), the preaching of Zoroastrianism did not find recognition and was even persecuted, so Zoroaster had to flee. He found refuge with the ruler Vishtaspa (he most likely ruled in Drangiana), who adopted the faith of Zoroaster. The revelations of Zoroaster did not arise from scratch, their origins are in a religion even more ancient than Zoroastrianism. Long before the beginning of the preaching of the new creed, "discovered" by Zoroaster by the supreme God Ahura Mazda himself, the ancient Iranian tribes revered the god Mitra – the personification of the contract, Anahita – the goddess of water and fertility, Varuna – the god of war and victories, etc. Even then religious rites were formed associated with the cult of fire and the preparation by the priests of haoma for religious ceremonies. Many ceremonies, rituals and heroes belonged to the era of "Indo-Iranian unity", in which the proto-Indo-Iranians lived – the ancestors of the Iranian and Indian tribes. All these deities and mythological heroes organically entered the new religion – Zoroastrianism. Zoroaster taught that the supreme deity is Ahura Mazda (later he was called Ormuzd or Hormuzd). All other deities occupy a subordinate position in relation to him. According to scientists, the image of Ahura Mazda goes back to the supreme god of the Iranian tribes (Aryans), who was called Ahura (lord). Mitra, Varuna and others belonged to akhura. The highest akhura had the epithet Mazda (Wise). In addition to the deities Ahura, who embodied the highest moral properties, the ancient Aryans revered devas – deities of the lowest rank, who later became "wrong" deities.
