Athsho is the personification of holy fire, indicated by the flames about his head and shoulders. Associated with Aša-Vahišta, the personification of truth or righteousness, who appears as Ashaeixsho on Huvishka coins, the figure of Atar has been employed historically&nbsp;for royal fires. Though Athsho was recognized in Iran as a deity that accepted or rejected souls in heaven, he was most closely linked with Hephaistos in Western Mithraism. A blacksmith's hammer and tongs, symbols of Hephaistos, were also used for lighting the holy fire. As a result, they are also associated with Athsho. Likewise, Pahlavi's commentary on the Atašnyayiš (Sacred Books of the East XXIII:360, note 6) notes the further connection between these two gods in that, like Hephaistos, Athsho "bodily is infirm; spiritually he is a warrior."
