Abstract

Zarathustra's letter is one of the works of the seventh century AH that deals with the life of Zarathustra and the events before and after his birth. This poem refers to the conspiracies of Zarathustra's enemies to destroy him as a child and the role of his mother in protecting him. In this article, the author intends to study the role of feminine elements in the life of Zoroaster based on the text of the Zoroastrian letter through a descriptive-analytical method. With a little attention to these events, we find that in addition to the mother of Zarathustra, many female elements and animals also play a protective and protective role in the fate of Zarathustra. These include cattle, mares, wolves, ewes, and the role of water (crossing water and drowning in the Wa Daiti River). The active role of Zarathustra's mother and animals and female elements in Zarathustra's care and protection from dangers, in addition to the Zoroastrian system has been repeated in many other Zoroastrian works, which can be related to the symbolic meaning of these feminine forces with the meaning of blessing. Given that Indo-European tribes are patriarchal and patriarchal tribes, the role of female elements in the fate of Zoroaster, can be a remnant of the penetration of Iranians before the arrival of the Aryans in Iran, which have been evidenced by the history of patriarchal and female tribes. The active position of women in this system shows a deep and deep-rooted cultural belief that dates back to the millennia before the arrival of the Aryans in Iran.
