We propose to revisit a passage by the prolific author Marteen Vermaseren that highlights correspondences today forgotten between the Roman Mithras and its Eastern counterparts.

Es bien sabido que Mitra nació de una roca. Sin embargo, menos se ha escrito acerca del padre del dios solar, y especialmente sobre cómo lo concibió.
