Mithras

1 “But not just any child. I am...uh, the mater in my sisterhood. The magna mater; in fact. There are no mysteries to me. Mithras cannot hide anything from my sight.”

2 So if there's a bit of Roman stone - better still mortar - in Gran's rockery, the Temple of Mithras would like it back.

3 More likely, the iconic image of Mithras kneeling on a bull and plunging a dagger into its neck was intended to inspire awe and fervor.

4 There exists abundant reason for regarding the Essenean worship as more or less identical with that of Mithras, the Persian “god of heaven.”

5 In Persia they were connected with the obscure worship of Mithras.

6 Mithras just wasn’t one of the gods they talked about at Camp Half-Blood.

7 The Temple of Mithras will be reconstructed underneath the office block at the exact spot it was built in AD240 - ground level in Roman London is seven metres below today's city.

8 In the case of my show, I've chosen to involve him in a real mystery called the Sons of Mithras.

9 In approximately 240AD, the Romans built a temple next to the river to one of their most mysterious cult figures, Mithras the bull slayer.

10 Roman soldiers campaigning in Persia brought Mithraism back to Rome since Mithras’s identity as a former soldier made his worship all the more appealing to members of the Roman military.

11 In 1954 thousands queued for hours in a city still pocked with scars from the Blitz, to see the unearthed Roman temple of Mithras, now spectacularly reconstructed within the huge Bloomberg building.

12 Substantially the same things are recorded of Mithras, the Persian savior, of Socrates, and many of the Grecian and Roman demigods.

13 “I will prove my power is greater than Mithras. With a single strike, I will bring down this chamber.”

14 The cults of Mithras and Isis were especially popular, with secret initiation rituals and a hierarchical membership.

16 Eggs were associated with fertility, rebirth and the Roman gods Mithras and Mercury.

17 In a cave or an underground temple there would certainly be an altar to Mithras, attended by legionaries and slaves.

18 As the cavern of Mithras imploded behind her, she lunged into darkness and found herself falling.

19 Ahura Mazda was aided by lesser gods like Mithras, god of the sun and rebirth, and Anahita, goddess of water and the cosmos.

20 Even if Percy somehow managed to trace her steps, the cavern of Mithras had collapsed.
