Zarathushtra - (Zoroaster)

 

 

 

The Gathas
References

 

 

The Gathas, which are the divine songs of Zarathushtra, comprise a very short selection of poems, which are the only remaining communications attributed directly to Zarathushtra.

Scholars use a number of ways, including linguistics, phonetics, as well as poetical and mystical compositions to translate these poems, and effectively communicate the message of Zarathushtra..

 

The following is a suggestive list of books (in no particular order) which are translations or interpretations of the Gathas:
