Sky myth in the Persian mythology

Sky myths are a common theme in many cultures around the world, and they typically involve stories and beliefs about the heavens above. In many cultures, the sky is seen as a realm of the gods, a place where divine beings reside and where important events take place. The Persian mythology has a rich tradition of sky myths, which have been handed down through generations. Heaven is conceived as the symbol and name of the Supreme Being. This is the case among the Chinese, Mongols,the Sumerians, and especially, among the occupants of the Afro- Asiatic downs and the herding peoples. The Indo- European languages employ the terms Devah, Dyaus, Die, Tivar, Zeus, Deus, Diespiter, and Jupiter to designate the creator and lord of all effects. Side by side with the active deification of the Supreme God of Heaven there's a tendency to make him a Deus otiosus( as in Africa) and to concentrate on the active deification of other religious marvels that feel to be closer and to play a further central part in diurnal life. Sky myths in Persian mythology often symbolize the power and majesty of the gods, and serve as a way to explain the workings of the natural world. This essay will explore the various sky myths in Persian mythology, their significance, and their impact on Persian culture.
