Zarathustra
Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, is regarded as the spiritual founder of Zoroastrianism. He is said to have been an Iranian prophet who founded a religious movement that challenged the existing traditions of ancient Iranian religion, and inaugurated a movement that eventually became a staple religion in ancient Iran. He was a native speaker of Old Avestan and lived in the eastern part of the Iranian plateau, but his exact birthplace is uncertain.There is no scholarly consensus on when he lived. Some scholars, using linguistic and socio-cultural evidence, suggest a dating to somewhere in the second millennium BC. Other scholars date him to the 7th and 6th centuries BC as a near-contemporary of Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great. Zoroastrianism eventually became the official state religion of ancient Iran—particularly during the era of the Achaemenid Empire—and its distant subdivisions from around the 6th century BC until the 7th century AD, when the religion itself began to decline following the Arab-Muslim conquest of Iran. Zoroaster is credited with authorship of the Gathas as well as the Yasna Haptanghaiti, a series of hymns composed in his native Avestan dialect that comprise the core of Zoroastrian thinking. Little is known about Zoroaster; most of his life is known only from these scant texts. By any modern standard of historiography, no evidence can place him into a fixed period and the historicization surrounding him may be a part of a trend from before the 10th century AD that historicizes legends and myths.

zarathustra
Zarathustra, also known as Zoroaster, was an ancient Iranian prophet who founded the religion of Zoroastrianism. He is traditionally regarded as having lived in the 6th century BC, but other estimates suggest he could have lived as far back as 1200 BC. The religion he founded was monotheistic and was dominated by the dualistic contrast of good and evil. It had a significant influence on the development of Persian civilization. Zarathustra is also notably recognized in philosophical works, like Friedrich Nietzsche’s "Thus Spoke Zarathustra."

Zarathustra
Zarathustra is a progressive rock album released in 1973 by the Italian band Museo Rosenbach. It is generally regarded as one of the best Italian progressive rock works of all time. Controversially, the lyrics compose a concept album of Nietzsche's philosophy, particularly Also sprach Zarathustra. The song titles translate into The Last Man, The King of Yesterday, Beyond Good and Evil, Übermensch, The Temple of Hourglasses, Of Man, Of Nature, and Of the Eternal Return. The music has been edited by bassist Alberto Moreno, texts from external collaborator Mauro La Luce. Side A of the vinyl is completely occupied by the long suite Zarathustra, side B includes the remaining three songs, which relate thematically to the first part by the expression of the concept album, so dear to progressive rock groups The album was a commercial failure mainly because of the boycott of RAI, which was suspicious of the group because of the themes and the bust of Mussolini pictured in the collage on the cover, the work by the illustrator Cesare Monti. The singer, Stefano Galifi, later joined an art-rock band named Il Tempio delle Clessidre, quoting the title of the track.

Examples of zarathustra in a Sentence
Zarathustra was the first to consider the fight of good and evil the very wheel in the machinery of things: the transposition of morality into the metaphysical realm, as a force, cause, and end in itself, is his work. […] Zarathustra created this most calamitous error, morality; consequently, he must also be the first to recognize it.
