Encyclopedia entry

Originating in India (Mitra), Mithra is a god of light who
was translated into the attendant of the god Ahura Mazda in
the light religion of Persia; from this he was adopted as
the Roman deity Mithras.  He is not generally regarded as a
sky god but a personification of the fertilizing power of
warm, light air.  According to the _Avesta_, he possesses
10,000 eyes and ears and rides in a chariot drawn by white
horses.  Mithra, according to Zarathustra, is concerned with
the endless battle between light and dark forces:  he
represents truth.  He is responsible for the keeping of oaths
and contracts.  He is attributed with the creation of both
plants and animals.  His chief adversary is Ahriman, the
power of darkness.
