God Of The Midnight

Dahut, XIX, 7, p. 450.

A paragraph, printed as prose, is disguised verse:

"Mithras, God of the Midnight, You have had our sacrifice.
"Here is my spirit before You, my heart beneath Your eyes.
"I call, who followed Your eagles since ever my life began:
"Mithras, also a soldier, keep now faith with Your man!"

Mithras, also a soldier, visibly fought alongside the Ysans against the Franks so I think that He is keeping faith but His time is past. Yesterday's God.

Kaor, Paul!

But there was never a Mithras.

I think there was in the fiction. Like the Gods of Ys.

True, authors like the Andersons can assume, for fictional purposes, the reality of gods like Mithras.
