	Anahita the Mother of Gods: Iran, the Cradle of the Early Gods
		The same tradition was observed among the divinities, so much so that the ancient goddesses appear alternately as the mother, the sister or the wife of the masculine god, having different ranks.
		That is why Anahita (Ânâhitâ), the Iranian goddess, sometimes appears as mother earth and the goddess of fertility and birth, and sometimes as Venus, the goddess of music, love, jealousy and coquetry.
		Also in Achaemenian scripture, mention is made of Anahita, alongside with two other gods, namely Ahuramazda and Mehr (Mithra), and perhaps they could be regarded as parent and child, just as in Christianity, the trinity is made up of God and Jesus (sun) Christ (as well as Holy Spirit).
