Ahriman

Ahriman is a figure from ancient Persian mythology, particularly within Zoroastrianism, representing the embodiment of evil and chaos. He is often seen as the adversary of Ahura Mazda, the supreme god who symbolizes truth and order. Ahriman is associated with darkness, deceit, and destruction, and his role is to create obstacles and temptations for humanity. This cosmic struggle between Ahriman and Ahura Mazda reflects the broader conflict between good and evil in the world, illustrating the moral choices individuals must face in their lives.
