Sažetak
The feast scene on the reverse of the cult icon from Konjic shows a combination of the two mythical characters (Mithras and Sol) and cult characters of 5. mysts who evocate that myth. Zoomorphic character under the feast table represents Nymphus, the myst of the 2nd grade. It is masked with the animal skin; the aim of this is the magical canalisation of energy, that is, energy transfer from one state to another. Gordon stresses out the ambiguous sexual nature of Venus, tutelary deity of the 2nd grade. Similar characterictics are attributed to hyena, what can be observed in some Pallas' places found in Porphyrius. The author points out the possibility that the zoomorphic character on the reverse of the cult icon from Konjic should be identified as hyena.
