Lecture 15: In the last lecture, we looked at various cultural contacts in the Persian Empire, but in this one, we focus on one specific aspect of ancient Persia’s culture: religion. We’ll see how the ethical principles developed by the sage Zarathustra, or Zoroaster, influenced Persian religious practice and ideals. We’ll also learn about the many gods the Persians worshiped, the various types of priests, and sacrificial and burial customs. It’s important to note that a great deal of uncertainty surrounds the study of ancient Persian religion. For much of our information, we’re forced to rely on descriptions written by outsiders, much later Iranian religious texts, and often-ambiguous archaeological material.

Suggested Reading:
Kuhrt, The Persian Empire, chap 11, pp. 548–74.
