The Satan of Persia. According to Persian mythology, the ages
of the world are divided into periods of 1,000 years. When the cycle of
“chiliasms” (1,000-year periods) is complete, the reign of Ormuzd will
begin, and men will be all good and all happy; but this event will be
preceded by the loosing of Dahak, who will break his chain and fall
upon the world, and bring on man the most dreadful calamities. Two
prophets will appear to cheer the oppressed, and announce the advent of
Ormuzd.
