[pagan-magik] Mithras

[Ian Gregory]

Hello,

I got into a silly argument about Mithras with someone called
Roger Pearse on alt.discordia and it turned out that he is
something of an expert. He claims that most "information" about
Mithras is bogus, or at least that it is not supported by any
evidence. In support of his position he had already assembled
an impressive list of litereary references to Mithras which
some of you may find interesting:

http://www.tertullian.org/rpearse/mithras/

Most of the references are from a Christian perspective, but
there is an interesting link to a document about the "Mithras"
Liturgy which is part of the great magical codex of Paris
(Papyrus 574 of the Bibliotheque National). Perhaps you are
already familiar with it but I thought it worth giving the
link:

Livity,
Ian
