Which god was worshiped by Xerxes of Persia?

AnswerXerxes worshipped Ahura Mazda.


Which mesopotamian civilization is monotheistic?

The Persian society. It suffered a religious reform sometimes in the 6th century BC (by some accounts it was the 4th century BC) after prophet Zoroaster (Zartosht in Persian) proclaimed that the old Assirian gods awere not real and started the cult of Ahura Mazda, which eventually evolved in an almost complete form of monotheistic religion. When the new cult was initiated there were two gods, opposing eachother, Ahura Mazda - the good guy and the maker of all things and all creatures, and Angria Mainiu - the bad guy, the promoter of chaos but still a necesary presence in order to preserve an equilibrium of the celestial power. Because Zoroaster emphasised from the very begining the superiority of Ahura Mazda over Angria Mainiu, the latter gradually lost his position as god and Ahura reigned supreme as beneficiary of the first almost-monotheistic cult.


How was leader Zoroster important?

He established a religion based on the god Ahura Mazda which was sufficiently credible to be adopted by the Persian aristocracy. It remains today in the Middle East and in India (the Parsees).


What religion did Persians have?

They were polytheistic, with the principal god of the upper classes Ahura Mazda - the great light, this religion being codified by Zoroaster whose sect was Zorastrianism. Remnants of this religion still exist today in Persia, Tajikistan, Pakistan and in particular India where they are also known as Parsis (or Parsees).


How many gods does Zoroastrianism have?

Zoroastrianism has one true god - Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord"). It also has Angra Mainyu, or Ahriman, the equivalent to the Christian Satan. It has seven Amesha Spenta, who are lesser beings considered equivalent to the seven postexilic Judaic archangels. The most important of these lesser beings, Mithra, was adopted by the Roman Empire as a god in his own right, Mithras.
