Zarathushtra, (Avestan: Zaraθuštra), of the Spitaman family, is one of the first and oldest prophets of mankind’s history. He was the son of Pourushaspa. His mother’s name was Dughdova. He is known to us from the Gathas (Avestan: Gāθās), seventeen hymns which were composed by Zarathushtra and preserved faithfully by the Zoroastrian community.
