The Iranian society in which Zoroaster was born was semi-nomadic. The Asian steppes on which they lived has been compared to a sea of grass and the inhabitants considered themselves not as dominant over creation but as no more than a part (albeit a responsible one) of the chain of being. They developed a kinship with the cattle on which their lives depended and in tending them they evolved an orderly and mostly peaceful society.
