The supreme divinity of pre-Christian Caucasian Albania was a lunar god, known to posterity only through Strabo's Greek equation with Selene; the native Albanian name is lost. Strabo reports that the Albanians revered the gods of sun, sky and moon, but the Moon most of all, with a rich temple estate near the Iberian frontier whose high priest stood second in rank to the king. The sanctuary held numerous temple-slaves, some of whom fell into prophetic possession, and its cult included the spearing of a divinely chosen victim, whose fall was read for omens. Ethnographers record that the Moon persisted as the remembered chief god of the Albanians and that lunar, solar and fire cults survive alongside Christianity among the Udis.
