Children of Zoroaster... In space...

[Evilgoodguy]

This is for a novel.

I'm trying to get a better understanding of ancient religions, so I can work on my own fictionalized versions of said religions. I won't go into too many details on the story itself, but I'm hoping you guys can teach me some about Zoroastrianism and how it has influenced the Abrahamic Religions. That way, I can work on my own fantasy versions of each religion.

All I know is that they heavily emphasize duality and Ahura Mazda is the brother of Ahriman.

Also, do they influence Hinduism at all?

Google up 'Ohaspe, a Kosmon Bible' and check it out -- for Zoraster's children in space.

I'm glad I found your post and am able to respond.

Will be grateful to hear from you when you've, hopefully, got yourself a paper copy of OHASPE because it's not the sort of book best read on-screen.

Best regards
