2,079 typed, source-backed relationships between entities. Each row records a directed relationship (subject → type → object) with a justifying source and rationale note. See relationship_types for the full controlled vocabulary of 70 relationship types. Key types: reception_of / received_as (transmission across traditions), equated_with (interpretatio graeca / analogues), parent_of (genealogy), member_of (collective membership), emanates_from (Gnostic/Neoplatonic structure).

2318 Bendis ENT_BENDIS equated_with Hecate ENT_HECATE medium Thracian Bendis is equated with Hecate in some ancient sources alongside the primary Artemis equation; both are nocturnal lunar hunting deities. Archibald (1998) ch. 8 notes the Hecate equation in Athenian votive material. Confidence medium: Artemis equation is primary, Hecate secondary. Zosia H.

2320 Zalmoxis ENT_THRA_ZALMOXIS aligned_with Orpheus ENT_ORPHEUS medium Zalmoxis and Orpheus share structural parallels as Thracian-connected mystery figures associated with afterlife, soul-doctrine, and initiatory revelation. Both traditions promise immortality through initiation and involve divine instruction about the nature of the soul. Burkert, Ancient Mystery Cults (1987) pp. 11-12 and Eliade note the Thracian mystery parallel. This alignment is scholarly and structural, not an ancient explicit equation. Zosia H.

2323 Gebeleizis ENT_THRA_GEBELEIZIS aligned_with Zalmoxis ENT_THRA_ZALMOXIS low In Herodotus 4.94-96 the transition from the Gebeleizis passage to the Zalmoxis account is abrupt, leading some scholars (Coman 1938; Eliade 1970) to interpret the two names as aspects of the same Getae deity — sky/storm aspect (Gebeleizis) vs. mystery/afterlife aspect (Zalmoxis). Archibald (1998) p. 300 treats them as potentially distinct. Low confidence given the single attestation of Gebeleizis and unclear ancient relationship. Zosia H.
