The belief that the rooster is the sworn enemy of demons and the power of darkness also existed among other peoples, and in the Avesta Hormuz Himself translates the morning song of the rooster with the words: “Get up, people, and glorify the most perfect justice. Look, the demons are on the run!” In Chinese symbolic writing, the sun is still depicted as a rooster inside a circle, and a conscientious Parsi would rather die than be guilty of murder.
In Scandinavian mythology, the rooster is named Gullinkambi (“Golden Comb”) and, like Neimdal’s, his task is to wake up the heroes and rush them forward.
The symbolic image of Chauntecleer's rooster probably has two sources. The rooster greeted the rising sun and had a golden crest, which, as one might assume, came to be considered the image of the jagged flame of the day and the "fiery pointed rays" of the morning. Thus, the Rooster was twice dedicated to the Sun, and he was considered the Herald, announcing the coming of Apollo. "Father of Light! What seed of the sun, what brilliance of the day have You put inside this bird? To all her breed you have given this active ray. Their magic works all night long and causes dreams of Paradise and light.
The Chinese have a belief that their sun and Savior Zas enters the world on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth month. In this case, the golden rooster, which they say sits on the highest branch of the Tree of Life, does not wait for the dawn, but crows all night in honor of the coming of the spiritual sun.
