Gebeleizis was as far as my mythology serves me right the sky god and storm and lightning were only the manifestations of his anger ... also he was often compared to Zeus of the Greek mythology or Jupiter as he is known in the roman pantheon that led to some debates over the origins of the God Zeus ... last but not least Gebeleizis' cult was at some point "absorbed" by the Zamolxian one and Zamolxis eventually became the Supreme God in the Dacian mytholgy ... other minor gods being overlooked as time and roman occupation passed by.
P.S.: The stuff here is only as accurate as my memory from a few books I read on Dacian myths and history I can guarantee it's correct only as far as a personal opinion and knowledge :D
1. Gebeleidis=Zhaibaleidis meaning producing lightning (Lith. zhaibas means lightning and leidis means throwing-producing) 2. Derzelas=Darzhelas meaning god of vegetables and plants (Lith. darzelis means kitchen-garden), and the corn he is holding in Lithuanian is called a corn of abundancy
nothing mysterious, in ancient times Getai-Trakai-Dakai were regional tribes of Lithuania
Zamolxis=Savamokslis=Saumokslis is not a god, but the nomination of the person meaning self-educated (Lith. savamokslis means self-educated), later it become god of the land-ground and was called Zhemeliukshis (Lith. zheme means land, soil or ground)
As a person with Romanian family connections, I appreciate the place archaic Thrace plays between modern Baltic language families and their resonances with ancient Persian provenance, and regret if expanding the entry has diluted any perceived cultural heritage vested in Nordic paganism. While I have appended copious footnote references to readily-available source resources for all claims supplemented to the original version of this page (examined under either a Carpathian or Greco-Roman lens), and where possible linked directly to an appropriate Wikipedia entry for many of the wide-ranging syncretic cultural-historical associations drawn between East and Western religious practices associated with Derzalas. The Turkic influence on cultural practices spread along the Silk road led me to include some Tartar Russian media from the twentieth century under "See also" with notable semiographic phenomena linking forms of a prominent natural feature and form of a monument. Seconding Prof. Caroline Bynum, I would want to avoid the tyranny of morphology, see www.hs.ias.edu/sites/hs.ias.edu/files/Bynum_Articles/Bynum_AvoidingTyrannyMorphology.pdf while drawing attention to persistence of memory in human behaviour from one era to the next.
Pls specify any egregious errors, I will be happy to amend MrsKrishan ( talk) 07:40, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Derzelas (Darzalas) was a Dacian or Thracian chthonic god of abundance and the underworld, health and human spirit's vitality. [1]
Derzelas (Darzalas) was a Dacian or Thracian chthonic god of abundance and the underworld, health and human spirit's vitality, probably related with gods such as Hades, Zalmoxis, Gebeleizis. [2] [3]
The modern Polish surname Zelazo (from żelazo meaning " iron" cognate with Lithuanian geležìs) is derived from the eponymous Dacian martial deity Gebeleizis, echoing Sarmatia's Eastern European links with Iran: gebel is a Maltese and Arabic word for hill or mountain, related to جَبَلَايَة (gabalāya) “grotto, cave” related to English javelin, a warrior's spear); and the Homeric Αἰγίς (aegis), a sacral hieratic hunting bag of classical Grecian myth, derived from the verb aissu "violent windstorm". Ζεὺς Αἰγίοχος ("Zeus who holds the aegis") may have originally meant "Sky/Heaven, who holds the thunderstorm". Mount Smolikas (Σμόλικας), the second highest mountain in Greece after Mount Olympus may predate Aromanian ethnographic roots in Zalmoxis (Smolcu in local Romanisch dialect of the descendents of Paeonian tribes who settled the northern Aegean peninsula) related to Turkic [4] sol "left" (meaning the side of the body facing north when a devotee faces the rising sun at dawn) from Ugaritic 𐎌𐎎𐎀𐎍 (šmal) Akkadian 𒆏 (šumēlu, “left side”) cognate with Aramaic סְמָלָא / ܣܡܠܐ (semālā, “left side”), Arabic شَمَالٌ (šamāl, “north”) and Hebrew שְׂמֹאל(s'mól) "left", as perhaps passed down in Romanian Solomonari folk legends, and the Naiad nymph named Salmacis.

The deity Elagabalus was initially venerated at Emesa. This form of the god's name is a Latinized version of the Syrian Ilāh hag-Gabal, which derives from Ilāh (a Semitic word for "god") and gabal (an Aramaic word for "mountain"), resulting in "the God of the Mountain," the Emesene manifestation of the deity.
