ENT_THRA_ZALMOXIS	SRC_HERODOTUS_HISTORIES	direct attestation	Herodotus 4.94-96: the longest ancient account of Zalmoxis — the Getae belief in immortality, the four-year messenger ritual, and the Greek rationalist alternative of Zalmoxis as former slave of Pythagoras. Primary and most detailed attestation; Herodotus himself is sceptical of the Greek version.
