In Zoroastrian tradition, the House of Lies is the hellish dwelling associated with the Lie after death.
Zoroastrianism presents existence as a moral struggle between truth and falsehood, commonly represented by Asha and Druj. After death, a person’s soul faces judgment at the Chinvat Bridge. Those aligned with truth are directed toward blessed existence, while those aligned with the Lie descend into a condition of misery traditionally called the House of Lies.
The name is a translation of a Middle Persian expression often rendered as Duzhox or related forms in Zoroastrian scholarship. It is paired conceptually with the House of Song, the blessed destination associated with the righteous. These terms express the religion’s emphasis on ethical choice rather than merely describing geographic locations.
Zoroastrian afterlife teaching also includes a future renovation of creation, when evil is finally defeated and the world is renewed. Thus, the House of Lies belongs to the period before the ultimate triumph of good, not to an eternal victory for evil.
