Ahura-Mazda
Ormazd Or"mazdor Ahura-Mazda A`hu*ra-Maz"da, n. [Zend Ahuramazda.] (Zoroastrianism) The supreme deity, the principle of good, creator of the world, and guardian of mankind. He is the opponent of Ahriman, the spirit of evil, both being sprung from Eternity, or, according to another version, Ahriman being the offspring of a moment of doubt on the part of Ormazd. Ormazd is attended by angels and archangels. He is represented as a bearded man inclosed in a winged circle, a conception probably derived from the Assyrian representations of Ashur.
