Abstract
This intervention focuses on the close relationship that links Mithras to Hercules, witnessed by the presence of the image of Hercules in some mithraic caves, on ritual vessels and in other contexts related to Zoroastrian Mithraism, such as the funerary monument of Antiochus I of Commagene at Nemrut Dağı.Likewise, even the veneration of the goddess Caelestis by some followers of Mithras is testified by the representation of the symbol pro itu et reditu in contexts referable to the cult of Mithras.
这一论述的重点是密特拉与赫拉克勒斯之间的密切关系,赫拉克勒斯的形象出现在一些密特拉教洞穴、祭祀器皿以及与拜火教密特拉教有关的其他场合,如位于 Nemrut Dağı 的 Commagene 的安提阿哥斯一世的墓碑。同样,在与密特拉崇拜有关的背景中出现的 pro itu et reditu 符号也证明了一些密特拉信徒对凯莱丝蒂女神的崇敬。
