ORMAZD, or ORMUZD (O. Persian Auramazda or Ahuramazda)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 294 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
ORMAZD, or ORMUZD (O. Persian Auramazda or Ahuramazda) , the supreme deity of Zoroastrianism. He is represented as the god and creator of
good
 ,
light
 , intelligence, in perpetual opposition to
Ahriman
  the
lord
  of evil, darkness and ignorance. The dualism of the earlier Zoroastrians, which may be compared with the
Christian
 
doctrine
  of God and Satan, gradually tended in later times towards monotheism. At all times it was believed that
Ormazd
  would ultimately vanquish
Ahriman
 . See further ZOROASTER.
