Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

in Persian mythology, was one of the evil mighty genii which Ahriman created to fight against the genii of light, created by Ormuzd. This genius fights with Tashter in the great final battle. The latter is the water, and Apewesh is the drought (not fire, which is holy). Apewesh will finally be overcome.
