Alexander the Great's mother, Olympias, was an ardent participant in orgies honoring Sabazius. This gave rise to the legend that Zeus himself, in the form of a serpent, had intercourse with Olympias, and that Alexander was the fruit of this relationship. There was even a story that King Philip lost an eye for spying through a keyhole as the deity, in the form of a serpent, reclined with his wife.
The fusion of Sabazius with other Eastern deities—Syrian, Persian, and even the Jewish Sabaoth—belongs to the first centuries of Christianity, although the beginnings of this fusion date back to the second century BCE: in 139 CE, Jews were expelled from Rome for proselytizing among Roman citizens, pursuant to a law condemning to exile those who spread the worship of Jupiter-Sabazius. Blavatsky also identified Dionysus-Sabazius and Jehovah-Sabaoth
