ABSTRACT
WHAT was the situation like with regard to eschatology in the Sasanian period? Whatever the precise origins of evil, the problem of its existence in the world must find here its ultimate solution. The representation of the events of the end of times form therefore in Zoroastrianism a logical concomitant to that of the origins of the world. The problem about investigating this field is that the material concerning eschatology is even more nebulous than that which deals with cosmogony.
