|wketx=[[Sabazios]] (Ancient Greek: [[Σαβάζιος]], romanized: Sabázios, modern pronunciation Savázios; alternatively, Sabadios) is the horseman and sky father god of the Phrygians and Thracians. Though the Greeks interpreted Phrygian Sabazios as both [[Zeus]] and [[Dionysus]], representations of him, even into Roman times, show him always on horseback, wielding his characteristic staff of power.
