词汇 manichean
词源
Manichean. The Persian prophet Manes (ca. a.d. 216–276) considered himself a successor to Zoroaster, Buddha, and Je- sus, sent into a darkening world to restore light. Zoroastrian priests saw to it that he was banished from Persia. Wandering widely, he spread his new religion (Manicheism) throughout the Roman Empire and as far off as India. However, when he returned to Persia, he was flayed to death or crucified—history is unclear. Manicheism, however, was a major religion in the Orient for over a thousand years and remained an influence on other religions into the 13th century.
