Persian mythology Much of the information about Persian (old-Iranian) gods can be found in the religious texts from Zarathustra such as the Avesta, and in later sources such as the Boendahisjn and the Denkard. The original Avesta dates back to 1400 - 1200 BCE, and was kept in Istachr until Alexander the Great destroyed it. The current version dates from the 13th or 14th century, and contains only a fragment of the original text.

There is an entire Encyclopedia Mythica that has all the detailed information on this. You can access it by clicking here.
