They were dividedinto seven stages or degrees and consisted ofthe most rigorous proofs of fortitude and courage.The Mysteries of Mithras passed from Persia intoEurope, and were introduced into Rome in the timeof Pompey (87-48 B. C). Here they flourished,with various success, until the year 378 A. D.,when they were proscribed by a decree of the Senate,and the sacred cave, in which they had beencelebrated, was destroyed by the Praetorian prefect.The Mithraic monuments that are still extant inthe museums of Europe evidently show that theimmortality of the soul was one of the doctrinestaught in the Mithraic initiation.A description of the other ancient Mysterieswouldonly be to repeat what has been said, and asall took their rise in Egypt, we may judge thesource of thefountain by the nature of the stream.All contain just such legends, everywhere differingin particulars, but everywhere coinciding in generalcharacter.
