Abstract
Gashtassb is one of the well-known kings of the Kiyani dynasty. Based on Zoroastrian sources, he promotes improving religion and a favored kingdom. In Avesta and Pahlavi scripts, his wife is named Hotos; an Iranian girl from the Nozar race. Yet there are obvious differences among the personality of Gashtassb and his wife in Avesta and the Pahlavi scripts with the descriptions of these characters in Shah-Nameh by Ferdowsi. In Shah-Nameh, Gashtassb has a negative and undesirable characteristic. Also, unlike these mentioned texts, in Shah-Nameh his wife is called Katayoon; and their union takes place during Gashtassb’s trip to Rome. The present paper makes an attempt to introduce Gashtassb and his wife; while it discusses the dual differences within different texts; such as Avesta and Shah-Nameh.
