Zoroaster's death is not mentioned in the Avesta. Apart from this connection, the new prophet relied especially upon his own kindred (hvaētuš). The actual role of intermediary was played by the pious queen Hutaōsa. In legends, Vištaspa is said to have had two brothers as courtiers, Frašaōštra and Jamaspa, and to whom Zoroaster was closely related: his wife, Hvōvi, was the daughter of Frashaōštra, while Jamaspa was the husband of his daughter Pourucista. According to Yasnas 5 & 105, Zoroaster prayed to Anahita for the conversion of King Vištaspa, who appears in the Gathas as a historic personage. His wife, children and a cousin named Maidhyoimangha were his first converts after his illumination from Ahura Mazda at age 30. With his wife, Huvovi (Hvōvi), Zoroaster had three sons, Isat Vastar, Uruvat-Nara and Hvare Ciϑra three daughters, Freni, Pourucista and Triti. His father's name was Pourušaspa, or 'Poroschasp', a noble Persian, and his mother's was Dughdova (Duγδōuuā). Zoroaster was born into the priestly family of the Spitamids and his ancestor Spitāma is mentioned several times in the Gathas. They also describe familiar events such as the marriage of his daughter, at which Zoroaster presided. They also indicate he had difficulty spreading his teachings, and was even treated with ill-will in his mother's hometown. The Gathas contain allusions to personal events, such as Zoroaster's triumph over obstacles imposed by competing priests and the ruling class. Most of his life is known through the Zoroastrian texts. He is credited with the authorship of the Yasna Haptanghaiti as well as the Gathas, hymns which are at the liturgical core of Zoroastrian thinking. Though he was a native speaker of Old Avestan and lived in the eastern part of the Iranian Plateau, his birthplace is uncertain. Zoroaster / Zarathustra (/ˌzɑrəˈθuːstrə/ Avestan: Zaraϑuštra Persian: زرتشت‎ Zartosht, زردشت Zardosht), was the founder of Zoroastrianism.
