Some basic concepts such as the Ideas &Faravahar hold a particular and precious place in Plato's philosophy, the doctrine of ideas introduces the origin of the material world through explaining the concept of being. Similarly, in the Zoroasterian world-view the creation of this world has been considered to depend on spiritual forms  (Faravahar).Because certain similarities between these two key concepts, some believe that Plato modeled Zoroaster's teachings and maintain that the doctrine of Ideas is indeed the Zoroasterian doctrine .This paper aims to verify this claim by comparing these two concepts and checking the differences and similarities between them in terms of their characteristics and functions.Apparently, the differences between them are too great to allow the easy acceptance of the modeling theory.
