The article discusses the history of and developments in Iranian Zoroastrianism. According to the author, the Iranian society had a big effect on the development of classical societies and their successors. The Persian religion, according to Diogenes Laertius, revolved around good and evil. The Persian Empire was destroyed by Alexander and the House of Seleucus struggled for control of Iran. Arabians invaded and swept tribes who believed in the teachings of the Prophet of Islam. From then on the Zoroastrian religion survived.
