Gebeleizis (or Gebeleixis, Nebeleizis) was the god of lightning and the horizon for the Dacians, probably related with the Thracian god of storm and lightning, Zibelthiurdos[1]. He was represented as a handsome man, sometimes wearing a beard. The lightning and thunder were his manifestations. In the later period of the Dacians' religious existence, Gebeleizis seems to merge with Zalmoxis as the supreme god.
