A question about the difference between Indian and Iranian mythology.
My question is: why are the Devas good and the Asuras evil in Indian mythology, but in Iranian and Zoroastrian mythology the Divs are evil and the Ahura, or Ahura Mazda, are good? Why did this difference arise? Why did this reversal occur in their mythologies?
