Why is Sabazius a separate article? Bacchiad 08:21, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
User:Error, since you're convinced by the reference in Britannica linking Sabazios with "Sabaoth", perhaps you'd give an explanation of what's referred to by "From Val. Max. i. 3, 2, it has been concluded that Sabazius was identified in ancient times..." etc. The original quote being referred to would do. Thank you. Wetman 01:12, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Anyone with a source for such a fundamentally obvious statement, better yet, supported by a quote, would serve the article well by editing and restoring an improved and extended version of this rather commonplace statement about the role of any archaic king. Meanwhile, alert users of Wikipedia do always read the Talkpages. -- Wetman ( talk) 01:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
The final sentence in the introductory paragraph, "representations of him, even into Roman times, show him always on horseback, as a nomadic horseman god, wielding his characteristic staff of power." is directly contradicted by the reference: Eugene N. Lane, "Towards a definition of the iconography of Sabazius", Numen 27 (1980:9-33) in which the author takes inventory of depictions of Sabazius and accompanying iconography. While both characteristics (horseback and wielding a staff) are found in some depictions (individually or together), they appear, based on the Lane article, far from universal, perhaps even quite rare. I don't want to start an edit war, as I'm far from an expert on the subject, but perhaps this line should be removed, or at least re-worded? Placenta Juan ( talk) 16:35, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
Can the lamp of fig. 53 in Karageorghis, Vassos (1970). "Chronique des fouilles et découvertes archéologiques à Chypre en 1969". Bulletin de Correspondance Hellénique. 94 (1): 218. be an evidence for a worship of Sabazios in Cyprus? פעמי-עליון ( talk) 19:27, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
