It is thought that the 'Stag God' originated in the steppes. He was brought to Anatolia by the early Indo-Iranian peoples who left their Kurgan burials at Trialeti and elsewhere in the region and mixed with the Hurrian and other peoples as far as northern Anatolia.
Boy stag of wonder,
with horns of a thousand branches and knobs
Thousand branches and knobs
and of a thousand bright candles
Amongst its horns it carries
the light of the blessed sun
On it's forehead there is a star,
on it's chest the moon
And it starts along the banks
of the shining heavenly Danube
That it may be the messenger
of heaven and bringer of news
About our creator and caring god
(translated from an old
Hungarian poem)
