Angromainyus

Angromainyus - an early form of Ahriman, the Zoroastrian equivalent of the Judaeo-Christian Satan, although he is not a fallen angel and is not subject to the overloardship of God.  Angromainyus was God's opposite and opponent from the beginning (in Persian lore).  In the Zendavesta, Angromainyus, pregnant with death, leaps from Heaven in the form of a serpent - a form in which he is not infrequently represented.  He tries to deceive Zoroaster (Zarathustra) and to cause the latter to rebel against Ahura Mazda (the Persian equivalent of the sovereign power), but fails.  [Rf. Jung, Fallen Angels in Jewish, Christian, and Mohammedan Literature.] (a)
