Athsho represents holy fire, as indicated by the flames around his head and shoulders. He is associated with Aša-Vahišta, the personification of truth or righteousness, who appears as Ashaeixsho on Huvishka coins. Historically, Atar has been depicted as the figure for royal fires. In Iran, Athsho was considered a deity who judged souls in heaven, while in Western Mithraism, he was linked to Hephaistos. Symbols of Hephaistos, such as a blacksmith's hammer and tongs, were used to light the holy fire and became associated with Athsho. Pahlavi's commentary on the Atašnyayiš (Sacred Books of the East XXIII:360, note 6) highlights further connections between Athsho and Hephaistos, noting that like Hephaistos, Athsho is "bodily infirm but spiritually a warrior."<o:p></o:p>
