==[[Mithras]]==

Bacchiad, since the sancity of an oath or contract was such a basic purpose of a god, the etymology of Mithra you've mentioned is too important to be slipped in as a clause. Look into the Vedic hymns, and expand the etymology of Mithra as "contract" or "promise" in its own headed paragraph at [[Mithras]]! I'll format it if you like: just get these facts into the entry![[User:Wetman|Wetman]] 17:17, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

::One reason not to separate Mithra from Mithras is that the ''difference'' is precisely what one needs to know, in order to understand what was subtly different about Roman ideas of "Mithras." [[User:Wetman|Wetman]] 18:38, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
