Zalmoxis, God of the Dacians

Dacian · deity · Dacian kingdom, 1st c. BCE (Burebista's reign), per Strabo; cult continuous from Getic period · deity

Distinct registry entry for the Dacian reception of the same god, as the prompt foregrounds Zalmoxis for the Dacian set; the figure is shared between Thracian/Getic and Dacian traditions but the Dacian record (Strabo on Burebista, Kogaionon, the priest Decaeneus) is its own attestation stream. Same demigod-vs-deity tension applies: in Strabo's euhemerism he is a deified mortal priest, in cult a god; classified 'deity' per cultic reception.
