Abstract

<p>A historical investigation of the religious legacy within a single dynasty that belonged to a branch of the Indo-Iranian group of the Indo-Aryan oulture - Acnaemenid-persia (550-330 B.C.). In the course of our investigation we shall note that three distinct Indo-Aryan religious "threads" co-existed in Achaemenid-Persia - the "Magian-Medes," the "Achaemenid-persians" and the "Zarathustrians."</p>
