MITHRA
As on December 17 we enter in the SATURNALIA...
here is a tribute video to the Indo-European God Mithra (or Mithras), who was a Solar Deity devoted in the antiquity, from India to the Roman Empire through Persia.
Mitra (in Vedic Sanskrit) / Mithras (in Ancient Greek) / Mithra (in Latin) was a Cosmogonic and Solar God, protector of the pacts and defender of the peace.
(As I haven't enough place here to describe the video, you can read it on http://www.youtube.com/user/Mithra3712 ^^)
For more informations :
* Robert Turcan, Mithra et le mithriacisme, Les Belles Lettres/Histoire, Paris, 1993.
* The works of the American historian Ramsay MacMullen.
(The so famous works of Franz Cumont, made in the beginning of the 20th century, are yet too old !).
* * *
About the fantastic music :
"Khilia Myria Kymata", written by the Greek composer Yannis Markopoulos and performed by the Great singer from Crete, Nikos Xilouris. Taken from the album "Hrises Epitihies tou Yanni Markopoulou (1970 - 1980)" ("The Golden Hits of Yannis Markopoulos (1970 - 1980"), Minos/EMI.
