Paleo-Balkan mythology is the group of religious beliefs held by Paleo-Balkan-speaking peoples in ancient times, including Illyrian, Thracian and Dacian mythologies.[1]
The cult of the Thracian horseman, especially his depiction as a hunter (either chasing or holding the hunted animal in his hand), was widespread within the Balkano-Danubian area during the Roman period.[2][3]
