Abstract

The article examines the term daev, which has opposite meanings in sources such as the Avesta and the Rig Veda, its place in the pantheon of the ancient peoples of Central Asia and the reasons for its transformation. Linguistic materials were analyzed for their compatibility with historical processes. Attention was drawn to the extent to which the evolution of the cult of the Daevas was associated with the migration of Indo-Iranians.
