Note:&nbsp;The god Athsho, or Athosho, appears to derive from the Zoroastrian deity 'Atar', the son of Ahura Mazda, and the personification of holy fire, indicated by the flames about Athsho's head and shoulders. Associated with Aša-Vahišta, 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'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'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."
