Zoroastrianism is often called the oldest monotheistic religion in the world, although perhaps it has not always been as strictly monotheistic as modern Judaism. There are many parallels between Zoroastrianism and both Judaism and Christianity. In terms of 'godlike personages', there are a supreme god, a saviour and an evil spirit.
The supreme god of Zoroastrianism is Ahura Mazda. Zoroaster's followers came to believe that a saviour, known as the Saoshyant, would be born of a virgin, would defeat evil to save the world, and usher in the end of the world. Some believers held that there were actually three Saoshyants, one of whom came at the Creation, one to come during the present time of good and evil, and the third and final coming to be at the time the world will end.
Satan, the devil of Christianity also has a counterpart in Zoroastrianism's Ahriman. The spirits of ancestors can return in the appearance of winged females (regardless of the actual sex of the ancestor) to guard over the living.
