Quite possibly the most widely worshiped God in the ancient world, by geographic reach, is Mithra. Worshiped from the Roman Empire, to distant India, even though there is normally great issue between the Deva and the Yazata to say the least. Mithra is the head of his Pantheon, and is a just God who protects the riotous from harm, watching over all of humanity, and being sure that evil is held back.

Mithra was created long ago when the sun was too harsh, and was harming humanity, stifling the growth of life on earth. He was born as an adult, and immediatly set out on his duty to deal with the blistering sun high above. He brought combat to the solar sphere, and after much fighting, defeated the sun, having it take an oath to bring life and warmth to the earth, rather than death and heat. Pleased by this development, Mithra took the sun as one of his followers, and gave it its golden color.
