Persian mythology

[David19]

Does anyone know anything about Persian mythology, today i was reading this book on world mythologies, which was actually really cool (i'll have to add it to my expanding wishlist!), and it had a section on Persian myths, and i found it very interesting.

I'd like to learn more about it, so any good links would be very appreciated, and i'd especially like to learn about pre-Zoroastrian myths, and Zoroastrian myths, as i do find Persian and Zoroastrian myths very interesting.

Thanks for any help you can give me :).
