The Origin and Deeds of the Goths (Latin: De origine actibusque Getarum) commonly referred to as Getica, was written by Jordanes, probably in Constantinople, and published in AD 551, the founder of the city Tomis was a Getae queen compared to the daring deeds done by Medea, he started off in pursuit of the ship. By that time The Temple of Uppsala and the Temple of Danaan had their own voices. The Ostrogoths and Visigoths in particular could have had the Gothic "Folk songs" -- the Carmina Prisca (Latin) -- as a prime source from the third century.

In earliest times they sang of the deeds of their ancestors in strains of song accompanied by the cithara; chanting of Eterpamara, Hanala, Fritigern, Vidigoia and others whose fame among them is great; such heroes as admiring antiquity scarce proclaims its own to be. Vesosis waged a war disastrous to himself against the Scythians, whom ancient tradition asserts to have been the husbands of the Amazons. It was here Alexander the Great afterwards built gates and named them the Caspian Gates, which now the tribe of the Lazi guard as a Roman fortification. They dwelt at that time along a bend of Lake Maeotis, from the river Borysthenis, which the natives call the Danaper, to the stream of the Tanais. Here, then, the Amazons remained for some time and were much strengthened. Then they departed and crossed the river Halys, which flows near the city of Gangra, and with equal success subdued Armenia, Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Pisidia and all the places of Asia.

The Origin and Deeds of the Goths was an important historical medium mentioned in the campaign in Gaul of Riothamus, "King of the Brettones." The ancient history of the Goths Jordanes describe in this book is actually of the Dacians, the confusion was due to the similarity of the names of Getae and Goths arriving at the history of the Dacians in the middle ages, lost from that point. On their first migration the Goths dwelt in the land of Scythia near Lake Maeotis. On the second migration they went to Moesia, Thrace and Dacia, and after their third they dwelt again in Scythia, above the Sea of Pontus. In the land of Scythia to the westward dwells, first of all, the race of the Gepidae, surrounded by great and famous rivers. For the Tisia flows through it on the north and northwest, and on the southwest is the great Danube.

The Getae or Dacian tribes were a Thracian people who lived in what are today Romania, Moldova, Ukraine and Bulgaria.

Ancient Dacia which the race of the Gepidae also Gothia country lies across the Danube within sight of Moesia, and is surrounded by a crown of mountains. The Getae's two principal gods were Zalmoxis and Gebeleixis. The historical Zalmoxis was really a man, formerly a slave (or disciple) of Pythagoras, who taught him the "sciences of the skies" at Samos. Sámos was inhabited in the Bronze Age, and about the 11th cent. B.C. it was colonized by Ionian Greeks.

In the Middle Ages, Sámos was held by a Genoese trading company from 1304 to 1329 and from 1346 to 1475, when it was captured by the Ottoman Empire. Zenon was a private secretary to Apollonios, the finance minister to Ptolemy II Philadelphus and Ptolemy III Euergetes in Egypt during the 2nd century BC who also records that Zamolxis was Pythagoras' slave.

The Coligny calendar is not fully derived from Apollo but seems to stay at a mountain top rather than an island. At one point, Zalmoxis traveled to Egypt and brought the people mystic knowledge about the immortality of the soul, teaching them that they would pass at death to a certain place where they would enjoy all possible blessings for all eternity. Aristotle equates Zamolxis with Phoenician Okhon and Libyan Atlas. The other Gebeleixis was the god of the horizon for the Dacians (Hallstatt) who merges with Zalmoxis who lives on the holy mountain Kogainon and Hades. The Getae or Dacian tribes were a Thracian people as it is possible that Zamolxiz is Sabazius; the Thracian Dionysus or Zeus who succeeds Cronos despite the centuries between deities. Sabazius is the nomadic horseman sky of the Phrygians whose element dates back to Zeus (Dyeus) and connects to the Getae's Gebeleixis rather than Zalmoxis, further setted in Anatolia. A Belgium-born pantheistic philosopher who fled to France after his "Quaternula" (Little Notebooks) were condemned by the Church in 1210. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, "David of Dinant was a pantheist. He identified God with the material substratum of all things."
