Abstract

La figura del dios Mithra encarna en el mundo iranio antiguo la divinización de la idea de contrato. Desde el periodo de las tribus indo-arias que se asientan en la región desde mitad del Segundo Milenio a.c. el culto de esta divinidad evoluciona, vinculándose de manera especial con el poder político que ostentan los reyes y jefes tribales. El período de formación del Imperio Persa, bajo la dinastía aqueménida se convierte en un momento histórico importante, en el cual la presencia de Mithra logra mantenerse y seguir vinculada al poder real, a pesar de la implantación de la reforma zoroastriana, que en un principio desplaza su culto.

The figure of the god Mithra embodies in the Ancient lranian World the deification of the contract idea. From the period of the Indo-Aryan tribes, settled in the region from half of the Second Millennium B.C., the cult of this divinity evolves, being linked in a special way with the political power that the kings and tribal bosses show. The period of formation of the Persian Empire, under the Aquemenid Dynasty becomes an important historical moment, in which the presence of Mithra is able  to stay and to continue linked to the royal power, in spite of the installation of the zoroastrian reformation that displaces its cult in a principle.
