Gebeleizis the Sky-Thunderer

Thracian · deity · Iron Age Getae, 5th c. BCE, per Herodotus · deity

Getic sky/thunder god. Native term given in Greek script as Herodotus is the sole transmitting source; manuscript variants include Beleizis and Nebeleizis. Some scholars (Russu) keep him distinct from Zalmoxis as a uranian counterpart to the chthonic immortality god; others equate them per Herodotus' own phrasing. Equally a Dacian/Getic god; foregrounded for the Dacian set per the prompt.
