sun's crown (nimbus)

Freud and Jung, a separate view

The third picture represents Mithra, when he grasps the head ornament of the sun, the nimbus. This act recalls to us, first of all, the violence of Horus towards Isis; secondly, the Christian basic thought, _that those who have overcome attain the crown of eternal life_.

Carl Jung, Psychology of the Unconscious (1916) / Collected Papers (1917), Psychology of the Unconscious, ch. V Symbolism of the Mother and of Rebirth

These last two representations show plainly that Mithra has taken to himself the strength of the sun, so that he becomes the lord of the sun as well.
