THE PHRY-GIAN GOD, SABA-ZIOS (GREEK: ZEUS).

Saba-Zios is the nomadic Horseman and the Sky Father god of the Phry-Gians and Thracians. An early conflict between Saba-Zios and his followers and the mother goddess of Phry-Gia is reflected in Homer's brief reference to the youthful feats of Priam, who aided the Phry-Gians in their Battles with Amazons. An aspect of the compromise religious settlement can be read in the later Phry-Gian King Gordias' adoption with "Cybele" of Midas.
Saba-Zios' relations with one of the native religion's creatures, the Lunar Bull, may be surmised in the way that his horse places a hoof on the head of the bull, in a Roman marble relief (Boston Museum of Fine Arts). Though Roman in date, the iconic image appears to be so much earlier.
A Bronze hand was used in his worship and is conserved now in the British Museum. The copper alloy Roman Hand of Saba-Zius was also used in ritual worship. Few of them still remain in collections (Walters Art Museum, Baltimore). Another similar Bronze hand  was found in the 16th/17th century in Tour-Nai, Belgium and also is conserved in the British Museum. The recently discovery of an ancient sanctuary of Perper-Ikon in modern Bulgaria, also belonged to the Saba-Zios' cult.
The Hands of the god used for the rituals were decorated with religious symbols and designed to stand in the sanctuaries or be attached to poles for processional use.
The Macedon-Ians were noted horsemen, horse-breeders and horse-worshippers up to the time of Philip II (382-336 BC), whose name signifies "Lover of Horses."
In Indo-European languages, such as Phrygian, the -Zios element in his name derives from Dyeus, the common precursor of Latin -Deus (God) and Greek -Zeus. Though the Greeks interpreted Phrygian Saba-Zios as both Zeus and Diony-Sus, representations of him, even into Roman times, show him always on horseback, as a nomadic horseman god, wielding his characteristic staff of power.
The migrating Phrygians brought Saba-Zios with them when they settled in Anatolia (now Turkey) in the early 1st millennium BC, and that the god's origins are to be looked for in Macedon-Ia and Thrace.
The ecstatic rites practiced largely by women in Athens were thrown together for rhetorical purposes by Demosthenes in undermining his opponent Aeschines for participating in his mother's cultic associations: "On attaining Man-Hood you abetted your mother in her initiations and the other rituals, and read aloud from the Cultic Writings ... You rubbed the fat-cheeked snakes and swung them above your head, crying 'Euoi Saboi' and 'Hues Attes, Attes Hues."
The first Jews who settled in Rome were expelled in 139 BC, along with Chaldean Astrologers by Cornelius Hispalus under a Law which proscribed the propagation of the "corrupting" cult of "Jupiter Saba-Zius," according to the epitome of the book of Valerius Maximus: "Gnaeus Cornelius Hispalus, praetor peregrinus in the year of the consulate of Marcus Popilius Laenas and Lucius Calpurnius, ordered the astrologers by an edict to leave Rome and Italy within 10 days, since by a fallacious interpretation of the stars they perturbed fickle and silly minds, thereby making profit out of their lies. The same praetor compelled the Jews, who attempted to infect the Roman custom with the cult of Jupiter Saba-Zius, to return to their homes." The Romans identified the Jewish YHVH Tzevaot ("Saba-
Oth," "of the Host") as Jove Saba-Zius.
Jove, also Jupiter, was the god of sky and thunder and king of the gods in ancient Roman Religion and mythology. Jupiter was the chief deity of Roman State throughout the Republican and Imperial eras, until Christianity became the dominant religion of the Empire.
