Sabazios
Sabazios () is the nomadic horseman and sky father god of the Phrygians and Thracians. In Indo-European languages, such as Phrygian, the ''-zios'' element in his name derives from ''dyeus'', the common precursor of Latin ''deus'' ('god') and Greek ''Zeus''. Though the Greeks interpreted Phrygian Sabazios〔Variant spellings, like ''Sawadios'' in inscriptions, may prove diagnostic in establishing origins, Ken Dowden suggested in reviewing E.N. Lane, ''Corpus Cultis Jovis Sabazii'' 1989 for ''The Classical Review'', 1991:125.〕 as both Zeus and Dionysus,〔See ''interpretatio Graeca''.〕 representations of him, even into Roman times, show him always on horseback, as a nomadic horseman god, wielding his characteristic staff of power.
==Thracian/Phrygian Sabazios==
It seems likely that the migrating Phrygians brought Sabazios with them when they settled in Anatolia in the early first millennium BCE, and that the god's origins are to be looked for in Macedonia and Thrace. The recently discovered ancient sanctuary of Perperikon in modern day Bulgaria is believed to be that of Sabazios. The Macedonians were also noted horsemen, horse-breeders and horse-worshippers up to the time of Philip II, whose name signifies "lover of horses".
Possible early conflict between Sabazios and his followers and the indigenous mother goddess of Phrygia (Cybele) may be reflected in Homer's brief reference to the youthful feats of Priam, who aided the Phrygians in their battles with Amazons. An aspect of the compromise religious settlement, similar to the other such mythic adjustments throughout Aegean culture, can be read in the later Phrygian King Gordias' adoption "with Cybele"〔Later Greek mythographers reduced Cybele's role to "wife" in this context; initially Gordias will have been ruling in the Goddess's name, as her visible representative.〕 of Midas.
One of the native religion's creatures was the Lunar Bull. Sabazios' relations with the goddess may be surmised in the way that his horse places a hoof on the head of the bull, in a Roman marble relief at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.〔(Zeus Sabazios at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston )〕 Though Roman in date, the iconic image appears to be much earlier.
