Abstract

Mitraizem je nekoč veljal za vpliven in razširjen rimski sinkretični kult, ki je s svojimi koreninami segal v obdobje indoiranske enotnosti in je izgubil civilizacijsko tekmo s krščanstvom. Kot primer služijo analizirani sklop mitov, obredni kompleksi ter ikonografični material, ki vsebuje koncepte in ideje, povezane z božanstvom Mitro v različnih civilizacijskih obdobjih. Gre za medsebojno prepletanje indoiranskega kulta Mitre, rimskega mitraizma, krščanstva in armenskega poganstva. Vsem tem sistemom je značilna vera v svetlonosnega bojevnika, ki odreši svoje častilce iz teme. Elementi teh religij in verstev so tesno povezani s koncepti, kot so pogodba, oblast in pot iniciacij, brez katerih si težko predstavljamo sodobno človeštvo. Magistrsko delo skuša predstaviti, kako je kult Mitre z izvorom na vzhodu prodiral na zahod in skozi zgodovino s svojimi verskimi koncepti vplival na kulturo, vrednote in norme družbe. V delu so predstavljeni tisti algoritmi, ki jih je temu kultu uspelo implementirati, in tisti, ki so privedli do poraza, ter sledovi vpliva kulta v takšni ali drugačni obliki, ki jih lahko opazujemo še dandanes.

Secondary title:	Mithraism: journey through the centuries
Secondary abstract:	Mithraism was once an influential and widespread Roman syncretic cult, dating back to the period of Indo-Iranian unity and which lost its civilizational struggle to Christianity. As an example, a set of myths, ritual complexes and iconographic material is analysed, containing concepts and ideas related to the deity Mitra in different periods of civilization. What is concerned is the Indo-Iranian cult of Mithras, Roman Mithraism, Christianity and Armenian paganism. All these systems are characterised by the belief in a light-bearing warrior who saves his adhents from darkness. Elements of these beliefs and religions are closely linked to concepts such as treaty (contract), power, and the path of initiations, without which it is difficult to imagine modern humanity. The master's thesis seeks to present how the cult of Mithras, which originate in the East, penetrated the West and throughout history, with its religious concepts, influenced the culture, values and norms of society. What algorithms has this cult succeeded in implementing and which have led to its defeat. What traces of this influence in one form or another can still be seen today.
