Mills that provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the Gathas, which are the hymns of the ancient Iranian prophet Zarathustra.

The Gathas are considered to be the most important and sacred texts of the Zoroastrian religion, which was founded by Zarathustra around 3,500 years ago in ancient Iran. The Gathas are written in a unique poetic form that is difficult to translate into other languages.
