The great Bendis goddess (Bhendis, Mendis, Mhendis) was the feminine divinity from north-Thracian pantheon which was managing people’s fortunes, like the Fates.
Goddess’ name is build with the indo-European root of bhend, theonym which minds “to relate” or “to bow”, whence it comes also the Anglo-Saxon word bind or the Germanic “binden”.
From this small but precious idea, we can easy deduce that one of the primordial goddess’ appellatives was “Fortune’s Goddess” or “Weaver Goddess”, “Fate’s Goddess”, “The Fate goddess”.
She, as the Fates, was managing people’s fortunes, the indo-Europeans being especially worshipers of the predestination belief.
It is very probably that, after the Dacia’s Roman conquest, Bendis was assimilated by Diana goddess (Artemis at the Greeks).
Bendis was also the goddess of the matrimonial connections, of the love and the amorous feeling, like the Scandinavian goddess Freyja, the Greek Aphrodite, the Etruscan Albina, the Assyrian- Babylonian Ishtar goddess, Sumerian’s Inanna, the “Dzydzilelyaa” of the old Polish, Albanian’s “Prende”, Slave’s “Shiva” or Roman’s Venus.
All the marriages was officiated in her name, under her divine blessing.
The goddess Bendis cult was taken also by Greeks, becoming a stately cult in Athens since the V century b. C. It was adored especially while the ceremonies called “Bendideia” when it was taking place two ethnical ceremonies: one formed by Traces and another by Athenians.
Bendis goddess’ temple, associated by the Athenians with Artemis, was called Bendideia and it was situated on the Munychia hill, situated in Athena’s part called Piraeus, hill that has approximately 86 m highest. Today it is called with the name of Kastella. Later, after the II century b. C. we can find another goddess’ temple on Hebru’s West part, in Balkans.
Her cult was attested also in the Asia Minor, more exactly in Bithynia, or even in the Ptolemaic Egypt.
On statues, Bendis goddess was represented wearing Thracian clothes and the Thracian cap (Phrygian, the Phrygians was from the Thracian race). Sometimes the goddess has a javelin in her left hand and a coup in the right hand. On some coins she appears either keeping two javelins and a dagger, or two torches or a torch and a Patera.
Bends has also other attributes as the hunting, but we were appearing also as a Moon’s goddess, like Hecate.

Bendis – bronze bust from the Piatra Roșie, showing the goddess with big breasts, that means that she represents the fertile and amorous character of the goddess

Gog and Magog figures based on the British mythology, located in the Royal Arcade, Melbourne
The giants, a titanic generation, born from Terra (also known as Gaia), and Uran (Uranus), was a gorgeous, violent and non religious people, having no belief in gods, as being themselves of divine essence.
The giants were by excellency a mountain’s people (Uran is the sinnonymous of mountain, or the Mountain’s Man).
In their war with Zeus, they built mountains over mountains to get to Olympus, to God’s Palace, the huge Atlas trembled when they attacked, and although the Gods, headed by Zeus, pounced over the Giants, throwing lightings, they still weren’t capable to overcome them, and Hercules himself had to intervene to get them.
The Giants County was on the old Dacia territory, near the saint Oceanos Potamos River (Danube), where, from the same parents, Gaia ans Uran, their bigger brothers, the Titans, were born.
Often, the Romans used comparrations as the fight between Gods, Titans and Giants, with the wars against the Dacians, the Romans calling themselves the winning Gods over Titans, Giants, and then the Dacians.
The Giants were mentioned also into the Jewish traditions, being known as Gog and Magog, as Ezekiel mentioned.
In one of his stories, the prophet and the storyteller Ezekiel threatened the Jewish people that Jehova will bring as ruller over them the King Gog from Magog, with his beautiful army, armed with swords, spears, bolts , shields and helmets.
They, coming from North, riding on horses, will rush as a storm over Israel, to steal and destroy it. They will scour the land in triumph, will trap down the Jews, and then, after fulfilling their mission, will be all destroyed by the anger of The Sky.
Ezekiel’s prophecy referred , no doubt, to the old traditions about the great war between Giants, Titans and Gods, like when the Giants and Titans chased the gods all the way to Egypt.
The Jeremiah prophet , that lived not long before Ezekiel , talks about the same people, whom he simply calls them as the “gentium praedo”, that will come from a far away land, from North, from the bottom of the Earth. It will be a courageous people of archers, old and strong, talking a language unknown to the Jews, they are a big people, cruel and ruthless, with their voices moaning like the sea.
They are coming on horses faster than the vultures , all in a row, prepared for big invasion war. They will destroy Jerusalem, like Nabucodonosor, will destroy all of Juda’s strongholds, transforming the country of the Jews in desert, so that no man will be left in Jerusalem, and all the Jews will end up in slavery.
From here we took the name Lucifer-Luciferis (daystar), which was given to Nabucodonosor by Christians.
With six centuries before Ezekiel, also John the Theologian write about Gog and Magog, in his Book of Revelation.
Speaking about the last time of the humanity, John says that after 1000 years of prison for the serpentine dragon Typhon (Devil, Satan, Set, Ahriman etc) the dragon will be released, he will rebuild his strength and he will lead at war the people of Gog and Magog, which are splitted in four corners of the world and whose number is as the sand of the sea.
The Book of Revelation consider that all pelasgian tribes descended from Gog and Magog, divided in different parts of the world. Those people will run over the face of the Earth and they will siege the beloved city of Jerusalem, and they will be punished by the heavenly fire (God of the Jews, Yahweh).
In The Book of Revelation we can find a copy of the old Jewish traditions, written by the prophets Ezekiel and Jeremiah, with many years before Christianity.
Under the name Gog and Magog, the ancient people understand Getae and Massagetae Thracian tribes.
The names Goga, Gugu, Gugă, Gogă and Gogan are also used today by Romanian peasants, especially in mountain regions.
From the Sibylline Oracles result that the countries where the tribes of Gog and Magog live, are in the northern part of Thrace.
Other traditions about Gog and Magog are presented in the epic legends of the Alexander the Great. The country of the tribes Gog and Magog is described as wild and inhospitable, being subjected to Boreas wind (Northern wind), rain and Northern frost. According to the epic legends of Alexander, the tribes of Gog and Magog invade Southern regions and they closed Alexander in Macedonia, making him prisoner, but Alexander managed to escape and to gather a great army. After that, he will conquer the Northern regions of Gog and Magog (Country of Gog and Magog).
Other ancient legend tell us that tribes of Gog and Magog were under the rule of Popa Ion, a prince who rule also in Asia.
Undoubtedly that here we have an old reminiscence about the adorable Pelasgian King Ianus (Janus, the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings) which rule over the Arimi tribe, at the North of Oceanos Potamos (Danube), before moving to Italy. His face is also present on the old coins of Dacia.

Într-un discurs panegiric al lui Manuel Holobolos, ţinut în faţa împăratului Mihail VIII Paleologul (1259-1282), este menţionată prezenţa stăpânirii bizantine în „Insulele Paristriene” .
„Succesele” militare ale basileului au dus la domolirea „pannonianului”, puterea „alanului” s-a frânt, în vreme ce „pământul nemărginit al dacilor e plin de faima biruinţelor” împăratului.
Cercetarea modernă a identificat „Insulele Paristriene” cu regiunea gurilor Dunării, punctul nord-estic al vechii theme Paristrion, unde a putut fi restabilită o influenţă politică a împăratului printr-o alianţă matrimonială a curţii din Constantinopol cu hanul tatar Nogai, mai puţin în urma unor succese militare, în vreme ce prin termenii arhaizanţi ca „pannoni”, „alani” şi „daci” sunt desemnaţi, rând pe rând, maghiarii, tătarii şi românii.
Numele de „daci” dat românilor de Holobolos, se înscrie pe linia unei tradiţii ce se înstăpânise în lumea intelectuală a Constantinopolului, începand cu sfârşitul sec. X şi terminând cu ultimii istorici bizantini ai sec XV.
Cât priveşte formula „pământul nesfârşit al dacilor”, prin care panegiristul bizantin desemnează spaţiul românesc, ea sugerează imaginea pe care un contemporan şi-o putea face în faţa lumii româneşti nord-dunărene din a doua jumătate a sec. XIII, organizată în zeci de voievodate şi cnezate, dar lipsită de o structură politică solidă, care să-i confere si să-i cultive identitatea. Sunt zecile de „mici stăpâniri” sau „mici domnii” (mikrai authentiai) ce domină spaţiul nord-dunărean, despre care vorbeşte un alt bizantin în sec. XIII, Ioan Staurakios.

Medalion ce reprezinta pe zeita Bendis, descoperit la Gradistea Muncelului, datare dupa anul 79 e.n.
Marea zeita Bendis (Bhendis, Mendis, Mhendis) era divinitatea feminina din pantenonul nord-tracic care se ocupa cu destinele oamenilor, asemeni Ursitoarelor.
Numele zeitei este compus din radacina teonimului indo-european bhend care inseamna “a lega” sau “a indoi”, de unde provine si cuvantul anglo-saxon bind sau germanicul binden.
Din aceasta mcia dar pretioasa idee, putem deduce cu usurinta ca unul din apelativele primordiale ale zeitei era de “Zeita destinului” sau “Zeita Tesatoarelor”, Zeita Sortii”, “Zeita Ursitoare”.
Ea, asemeni Ursitoarelor, se ocupa cu destinele oamenilor, indo-europenii fiind prin excelenta adoratorii credintei in predestinare.
Este foarte probabil ca dupa cucerirea romana a Daciei, Bendis sa fi fost asimilata de zeita Diana (Artemis la greci).
Bendis mai era si zeita legaturilor matrimoniale, dragostei si sentimentului amoros, asemeni zeitei scandinave Freya, Afroditei elene, zeitei Albina a etruscilor, Ishtar a asiro-babilonienilor, Inanna a sumerienilor, Dzydzilelyaa a vechilor poloni, Prende a albanezilor, Shiva a slavilor sau Venus a romanilor.
Toate casatoriile se oficiau in numele ei, sub binecuvantarea ei divina.
Cultul zeitei Bendis a fost preluat si de greci, devenind cult statal la Atena inca din secolul V i.e.n. Era adorata in special in timpul ceremoniilor numite Bendideia cand aveau loc doua ceremonii etnice: una formata din traci si alta din atenieni.
Templul zeitei Bendis, asociata de atenieni cu Artemis, se numea Bendideion si era situat pe dealul Munychia, situat in partea Atenei numita Pireu, colina ce are inaltime de aprox 86 de m. Astazi poarta numele de Kastella. Mai tarziu, dupa secolul II i.e.n. mai putem gasi un templu al zeitei pe tarmul vestic al Hebrului, in Balcani.
Cultul ei este atestat si in Asia Mica, mai exact in Bithinia, sau chiar in Egiptul Ptolemeic.
Pe reliefuri si statuete, zeita Bendis este reprezentata purtand vesminte trace si boneta traca (frigiana, frigienii erau de neam tracic). Uneori, zeita are o sulita in mana stanga si o cupa in cea dreapta. Pe unele monezi, ea apare fie tinand doua sulite si un pumnal, fie doua torte sau o torta si o patera.
Bendis mai avea si diverse atribute cum ar fi vanatoarea, dar aparea si sub forma unei zeite a Lunii, asemeni Hecatei.

Bendis – Bustul de bronz de la Piatra Rosie, infatisand-o pe zeita cu sanii mari, ceea ce reprezinta caracterul fertil dar si amoros al zeitei.

Bendis din Tanagra, localitate situata in Attica, la nord de Atena (figurina din teracota, secolul IV i.e.n.)
