Indo-Iranian mythology The ancient Indo-Iranians were the founders of Persia and of Indian Vedic culture. It is assumed that before they divided into Persian and Vedic groups they shared a common Indo-Iranian (Aryan) mythology. The details of this are not known, but the names of some Aryan gods are found in texts surviving from the lost Hittite and Mitanni kingdoms. The main source of information is the early Indo-Aryan Rigveda. (references)
