Biography of Zarathustra, Founder of Zoroastrianism
Zarathustra, also known as Zoroaster, was an ancient religious leader and philosopher born sometime between about 1700 BCE and 600 BCE, who is credited with founding Zoroastrianism. He served as an inspiration to millennia of philosophers, including those of classic Greek, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, to as recently as Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900). He was perhaps the earliest of the ancient philosophers who recognized that the world is divided into good and evil.
