Below, in quotes, is the Wikipedia explanation of Ahura Mazda.
"Ahura Mazdā (also known as Ohrmazd, Ahuramazda, Hourmazd, Hormazd, Aramazd
and Azzandara) is the Avestan name for a divinity of the Old Iranian religion
who was proclaimed the uncreated God by Zoroaster, the founder of
Zoroastrianism. Ahura Mazda is described as the highest deity of worship in
Zoroastrianism, along with being the first and most frequently invoked deity in
the Yasna. Ahura Mazda is the creator and upholder of Arta (truth). Ahura Mazda
is an omniscient, but not an omnipotent god, however Ahura Mazda would
eventually destroy evil. Ahura Mazda's counterpart is Angra Mainyu, the "evil
spirit" and the creator of evil who will be destroyed before frashokereti (the
destruction of evil)."
I'm not all that familiar with Persian deities. In fact, many years ago, in an
artwork, I accidentally confused Persian Ahura Mazda with Ashur, chief God of
the Assyrians; both are represented by a winged disk, but the disks are far from
identical. Both are the chief Gods of their respective peoples; neither,
however, are Satan.
(Anyway, when I finished it -- two lamassu with the sun disk above them [the
wrong one as it turned out] -- the piece was beautifully framed & hung inside
the entrance of my home. An interesting side note was that my extremely
superstitious & fanatical jehova's witness mother and others of her ilk ceased
coming to my home as the lamassu and disk terrified her & she refused to walk
past them! Other people, however, commented on what a beautiful piece it was.)
Anyway ...

Is Angra Mainyu another name for Satan? and Ahura Mazda who really is?
