"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."

"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
