== Birth and marriage of Ahura Mazda ==
In some [[Zurvanism]] narratives, it is mentioned that Zurvan had a wife and had children with Ahura Mazda and [[Ahriman]], later, Ahura Mazda married his mother and had children with her, including the sun, dogs, pigs, donkeys, and cattle.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Foundation |first=Encyclopaedia Iranica |title=Welcome to Encyclopaedia Iranica |url=https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/marriage-next-of-kin |access-date=2025-03-23 |website=iranicaonline.org |language=en-US}}</ref> 

But in other Zoroastrian traditions ( not Zurvanism narratives ), it is said that [[Ahura Mazda]] married his daughter [[Spenta Armaiti]] and she gave birth to Keyumars, and later she gave birth to [[Mashya and Mashyana]]. These traditions are considered to be that Keyumars was born to the same mother as Mashya and Mashyana, and not that Mashya and Mashyana are the children of Keyumars.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GAYŌMARD (ARTICLE 2) |url=https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/gayomard/ |access-date=2025-05-14 |website=Encyclopaedia Iranica |language=en-US}}</ref>
