OP The capitalization of "Corybant" makes it sound as though it refers to an individual. I think it refers to a group of priests. I would not care to join them, since I have read that in their frenzy, they castrated themselves. Here is a link to a discussion of Cybele, which regrettably doesn't mention the priests:

Corybant is indeed singular. The plural is Corybantes. For a bit mmore information on the Corybantes see:
