Zoroaster, an Iranian religious reformer, challenged the existing Ancient Iranian religion and is considered the spiritual founder of Zoroastrianism. Described as a sage, wonderworker, preacher, and poet-prophet in the oldest Zoroastrian scriptures, the Gathas, his impact extended to philosophers like Heraclitus, Plato, and Pythagoras, as well as the Abrahamic religions. Zoroaster spoke Avestan, an Eastern Iranian language, and authored key Zoroastrian texts. His professional life is marked by his influence on the development and spread of Zoroastrianism in ancient Iran.
