"Zoroaster
Zaraϑuštra Spitāma


"Zoroaster (Persian: زرتشت) ( /ˈzoʊrɵ.æstər/ ZOHR-oh-as-tər; Avestan: Zaraϑuštra; born between the 18th and 6th century BCE) was an Iranian/Persian prophet and philosopher and the founder of Zoroastrianism. The spelling "Zoroaster" is a Greek derivation from the Avestan. Zarathushtra ( /ˌzɑrəˈθuːʃtrə/ ZAHR-ə-THOO-shtrə) is a modern rendering of the Avestan pronunciation, though Zarathustra ( /ˌzærəˈθuːstrə/ ZARR-ə-THOO-strə) is more commonly used. In the Middle Persian and modern Persian languages he is called Zardosht or Zartosht."
