OP The CORYBANTES are represented as a kind of inspired people, subject to Bacchic frenzy, and
inspiring terror at the celebration of the sacred rites by means of war-dances, noise, cymbals, drums,
and arms. They have been called attendants of Rhea 1, identified as Cybele, the Mother of the Gods
worshipped in Phrygia, and guardians of Dionysus 2 in his growing days. It is also told that the
CORYBANTES, came from Colchis (today Georgia in the Caucasus), and were given as armed
ministers to Rhea 1 by the TITANS. The CORYBANTES are inclined to dancing and to religious
frenzy, and worship the Mother of the Gods with orgies.
The CORYBANTES are sometimes said to have been expelled from their country by their father
Socus 2, and to have ruled the Euboean battalions that joined Dionysus 2 in his war against the
Indians.
CORYBANTES have been called the following: Acmon 3, Cyrbas, Damneus, Idaeus 3, Melisseus 3,
Mimas 6, Ocythous 3, Prymneus 2, and Pyrrhichus.
The CORYBANTES, the CABIROI, the DACTYLS and the TELCHINES are sometimes
represented as identical with the CURETES, and sometimes as kinsmen of one another [see below].
