Phrygian-Sabazios-Sabasis-Turkic-Savas

Hand of Sabazios (by wiki)

 

*


Wilhelm Tomaschek - Sabazios - Die Alten Thraker - The Ancient Thracian

*

Tomaschek writes about a Phrygian / Thracian deity Sabazios. He is always on horse back.
It is not unimportant. Because as a warrior it is easy to depict somebody on a horse and it is never ambiguous.
Savas is a very old Turkic word that was derived from sav/sab meaning "word". In Old Turkic it mens the war. 
 
There is an other interesting word there in the text above Αθύ παρος (athi paros), a temple name, and if we would translate it to Turkish it would mean "he who has a horse" and SAbazios gets his name from that temple: Ati Parinos. 

About Αθύ παρος I can't find any other information in www.

Isn't it very interesting?
