Mysteries of Mithra
From Persian Mehr to Roman Mithraism
اسرار آیین مهر: از مهر ایرانی تا میترائیسم رومی
Dr. Reza Afshari
A scholarly work written in Persian for Persian-speaking readers, exploring Mithra from ancient Iranian tradition to Roman Mithraism through its history, symbols, mysteries, and enduring ideas.
نقدها و بازتابها
این کتاب، مهر را نه چون یادگاری خاموش از گذشته، بلکه همچون اندیشهای زنده در حافظه تمدنی ایران بازمیخواند. نویسنده با پیوند دادن تاریخ، اسطوره و معنا، روایتی پدید آورده است که از مرز گزارش تاریخی فراتر میرود و خواننده را به تأمل در تداوم یک سنت فکری و معنوی فرامیخواند.
دکتر اسدالهی
در این اثر، مهر از پسِ لایههای اسطوره، زبان و تاریخ دوباره رخ مینماید؛ نه تنها بهعنوان موضوعی برای پژوهش، بلکه بهمثابه بخشی از تخیل و خودآگاهی فرهنگی ایرانی. نثر کتاب، وقار پژوهش را با لطافت ادبی و تأمل فلسفی درهم میآمیزد و با روانی و خوشخوانی کمنظیر، خواننده را بیتکلف از پیچیدگیهای تاریخی و مفهومی عبور میدهد؛ چنانکه متن، در عین عمق و استناد، پیوستگی و لذت خواندن خود را حفظ میکند.

About Panopticon Press
Panopticon Press is an independent publishing house devoted to thoughtful, distinctive works that bring scholarship, culture, history, and ideas to a wider readership.
Our Mission
To publish books of intellectual substance and lasting value—works that illuminate the past, deepen understanding of the present, and preserve important ideas for future generations.
