Cult of Mithras

I'm just going to write down what I read about Mithras. This will be choppy and unorganized. Its just easier this way.

• Mithras was born from a rock
• Was called Mithras by the Romans, but may have existed as Mithra with the Greeks
• It is believed that the cults were first started by Cilican pirates
• (side note) while I do love a little history, Wikipedia takes forever to get the good stuff
• (side note II) House in the morning and some coffee is freaking amazing
• So I've learned that this group was big into the stars and that Mithras may have not be a single consolation, but a traveling one. It could also be related to Orion since it is close to Taurs the bull and Mithras is famous for his killing of the sacred bull.
• I finally get to the real good stuff about beliefs and practices..."not much is known about the beliefs of the cult of Mithras" disappointing
• I guess these guys liked to eat. So do I. Maybe ill start this cult back up again
• These guy's temples were located under ground. Even though they didn't pose much of a threat they still felt they needed to hide their practices.
• Pretty disappointed. The only fairly interesting was that Christianity found these guys as a threat.
