Wise Lord of the Sky traces the growth of the rich world of Persian myth, from its roots in Assyro-Babylonian and Aryan belief, to the complex system that eventually emerged. Covers the early worship of archaic gods, the fire cults, the religion of the Magi, the birth of Islam and Sufism, and the creation of Indian mythology by its Persian conquerors.
