Publisher Comments:

The colorful Mithraic religion originated in Persia, enjoyed enormous popularity in Europe, and was ultimately destroyed by Christianity. This definitive treatment of Mithra by a leading authority on classical religions pieces together its mysteries: the principle characteristics of the god Mithra, the rituals, the teachings, the liturgy and much more. With 70 illustrations.

Synopsis:

Great classic in history of religions. Strange cult spread over Roman Empire, almost won out over Christianity. 50 illus.
