Lenormant examines the religious beliefs and practices of the Median people, drawing from a wide range of ancient texts and inscriptions. He explores the various deities worshipped by the Medians, including their chief god, Ahura Mazda, and the goddess Anahita. The author also looks at the role of the priesthood in Median society, as well as the significance of rituals and sacrifices in their religious practices.In addition to examining the Median mythology in detail, Lenormant also compares it with the mythology of the Chaldeans, who were a Semitic people that lived in Mesopotamia during the same period. The author notes the similarities and differences between the two mythologies, highlighting the influence that each had on the other.Overall, The Early Median Mythology Compared With That Of The Chaldeans is a fascinating and informative study of two ancient cultures and their religious beliefs.
