The Amschaspands (Amescha- spenta, "immortal Holy Ones"), each presided over a special de- partment of nature. Earth and Heaven, fire and water, the Sun and Moon, the rivers, trees, and mountains, even the artificial di- visions of the day and year were addressed in prayer as tenanted by Divine beings, each separately ruling within his several sphere. Fire, in particular, that "most energetic of immortal powers," the visible representative of the primal light, was invoked as "Son of Ormuzd." Th...e Sun, the Archimagus, that noblest and most pow- erful agent of divine power, who "steps forth as a Conqueror from the top of the terrible Alborj to rule over the world which he enlightens from the throne of Ormuzd," was worshipped among other symbols by the name of Mithras, a beneficent and friendly genius, who, in the hymn addressed to him in the Zend-Avesta, bears the names given him by the Greeks, as the "Invincible" and the "Mediator"; the former, because in his daily strife with dark- ness he is the most active confederate of Ormuzd ; the latter, as being the medium through which Heaven's choicest blessings are communicated to men.
