{{CTD article
|term=Mitre
|person=No
|description=The head‐dress of a religious dignitary, as of a Roman Catholic Bishop: a capending upwards in two lips, like a fish’s head with open mouth—''os tincæ ''associated with Dagon, the Babylonian deity, the word ''dag ''meaning fish. Curiously enough the ''os uteri ''has been so called in the human female and the fish is related to the ''goddess ''Aphrodite who sprang from the sea. It is curious also that the ancient Chaldee legends speak of a religious teacher coming to them springing out of the sea, named Oannes and Annedotus, half fish, half man. [w.w.w.] {{ctd-source|TG}}.
