887 Angra Mainyu ENT_ZOR_ANGRA_MAINYU deceives_or_tempts Deception ENT_DECEPTION medium Angra Mainyu is associated with destructive falsehood and deception. Mary Boyce, Zoroastrians SRC_BOYCE_ZOROASTRIANS reviewed  
891 Angra Mainyu ENT_ZOR_ANGRA_MAINYU embodies Evil ENT_EVIL high Angra Mainyu is the destructive/evil spirit. Mary Boyce, Zoroastrians SRC_BOYCE_ZOROASTRIANS reviewed  
1388 Angra Mainyu ENT_ZOR_ANGRA_MAINYU received_as Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN medium In early Hebrew texts, "the satan" (the accuser) is a member of Yahweh's heavenly court (Job 1–2; Zechariah 3:1–2) — not an independent cosmic evil. The development of Satan as an independent adversarial power opposing God (1 Enoch 6–11; Jubilees 10; later Revelation) parallels the Zoroastrian Angra Mainyu (cosmic adversary of Ahura Mazda, independent evil principle). Jews under Persian/Achaemenid rule (6th–4th c. BCE) had direct access to Zoroastrian theology; Boyce and DDD_BIBLE s.v. "Satan" both discuss the probable structural influence. Confidence medium: the development could be endogenous; the influence is probable but not textually demonstrable.
