 ROMANIAN MYTHOLOGY
The Supreme God, the Great God Gebeleizis is also known under the nicknames of Derzelas, Derzis or the Thracian Knight (others consider "THE THRACIAN KNIGHT" as being a later apparition of some Hero, and not of a God).
He shows up in these ways within all epigraphic and numismatic testimonies found at the ancient cities of Histria and Odesos (the latter presently called Varna).
At Limanu (Constanta County), Derzelas appears shown on horseback, as he similarly may be seen on the Racatau and Zimnicea old pottery, or the Bucharest-Herastrau and Surcea (Constanta County again) discovered hoards.

If we consider also Gebeleizis - god of the sky and the rain, Bendis – goddess of the moon and of the night worshipped by females and Derzelas – the god of the vital energy, we can say that the Dacian religion was probably polytheistic.
