SABAZIUS , a Phrygian or Thracian deity, frequently identified with Dionysus, sometimes (but less frequently) with Zeus. His worship was closely connected with that of the great
mother
chief
Demosthenes
Jews worshipped Dionysus, and that the day of Sabbath
Asia
Minor , is doubtful. Some explain the name as the " beer god," from an Illyrian word sabaya, while others suggest a connexion with aFo (god of " health ") or agJ3as. His image and name are often found on "votive hands," a kind of tausman adorned with emblems, the nature of which is obscure. His ritual and mysteries (Sacra Savadia) gained a firm footing in Rome during the 2nd century A.D., although as early as 139 B.C. the first Jews who settled in the capital were expelled by virtue of a law which proscribed the propagation of the cult of Jupiter Sabazius.See J. E. Harrison, Prolegomena to Greek Religion (1908), p. 914; H. Usener, Gotternamen (1896), p. 44; F. Cumont, " Hypsistes in Revue de l'instruction publique en Belgique, xl. (1899); C. S.
