4.0 out of 5 stars Not So Much about Mythology
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016

The book has some nice photographs and some good information about ancient Persian beliefs. But the book is really about Zoroastrianism, both past and present. A significant amount of the book is about how the Parsis live today.

As an overview of Persian culture from pre-Achaemenid to the twenty first century it does a good job. But don't expect a deep dive into specific mythologies.
