Note:&nbsp;The god Athsho, or Athosho, appears to derive from the Zoroastrian deity &#39;Atar&#39;, the son of Ahura Mazda, and the personification of holy fire, indicated by the flames about Athsho&#39;s head and shoulders. Associated with A&scaron;a-Vahi&scaron;ta, the personification of truth or righteousness, who appears as Ashaeixsho on coins of Huvishka, the figure of Atar has been employed historically for royal fires. While recognized in Iran as a deity, who admitted or rejected souls in heaven, Athsho was most closely associated in western Mithraism with Hephaistos. The blacksmith&#39;s hammer and tongs, symbols of Hephaistos, were also used as tools for igniting the holy fire. thus associating them also with Athsho. Likewise, Pahlavi&#39;s commentary on the Ata&scaron;nyayi&scaron; (Sacred Books of the East XXIII:360, note 6) notes the further connection between these two gods in that, like Hephaistos, Athsho &quot;bodily is infirm; spiritually he is a warrior.&quot;
