Pleistoros
Thracian War God
Pleistoros was, according to Herodotus (The Histories, IX, 119),[1] a Thracian god adored by the Gauls and the tribe "Absinthe" (Apsintieni) as the god of war. According to Josephus Flavius (in his Antiquities of the Jews, XVIII, 22).[2][a] Pleistoros was the god of war Dacians pleistoi, to which these Thracians offered sacrifices of men.[5][6] The priests were recruited between nobles, some of whom are warriors.[7][8]
