	CORYBANTES, Greek Mythology Link.
		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.
		Others have said that Cybele (the Mother of the Gods, identified with Rhea 1) was the mother of the CORYBANTES, whom she settled in the island of Samothrace.

		The dance was originally distinguished from that of the Corybantes by its comparative moderation, and took on the full character of the latter only after the cult of the Great 1~lother, Cybele, to which it belonged, spread to Greek soil.
		Their origin is variously related: they were earthborn, sprung of the rain, sons of Zeus and Hera, sons of Apollo and Danais, sons of Rhea, of the Dactyli, contemporary with the Titans (Diod.
		The worship of both was akin in nature to that of the Dactyli, the Cabeiri, and even of Dionysus, the special visible bond being the orgiastic character of their rites.

		Like the Curetes, Dactyli, Telchines and Cabeiri (q.v.), however, they represent primitive gods of procreative significance, who survived in the historic period as subordinate deities associated with a form of the Great Mother goddess, their relation to the Great Mother of the Gods, Cybele, being comparable with that of Attis (q.v.).
		The dance of the Corybantic priests, like that of the priests who represented the~Curetes, may have originated in a primitive faith in the power of noise to avert evil.
		In art the Corybantes appear, usually not more than two or three in number, fully armed and executing their orgiastic dance in the presence of the Great Mother, her lions and Attis.

		According to Pherecydes, Apollo and Rhytia were the parents of the nine Corybantes who dwelled in Samothrace, and the three Cabeiri and the three Cabeirian nymphs were the children of Cabeira, the daughter of Proteus, by Hephaestus.
		The meaning of the passage in Strabo is, according to Lobeck, as follows : Some persons think that the Corybantes are the sons of Cronos, others that they are the sons of Zeus and Calliope, that they (the Corybantes) went to Samothrace and were the same as the beings who were there called Cabeiri.
		But as the doings of the Corybantes are generally known, whereas nothing is known of the Samothracian Corybantes, those persons are obliged to have recourse to saying, that the doings of the latter Corybantes are kept secret or are mystic.

	Abstract
		In recent years Piet Schrijvers, James Jope, and Monica Gale have more extensively contrasted the poetics of Lucretius with the ethics of the Corybantes; these scholars suggest that Lucretius intends respectively to seduce, to frighten, or to entertain the reader with a parody of allegoresis.
		I suggest that the cult of Cybele, when read in its epistemological context, is more explicitly a parable of un-Epicurean thought and language: the worshippers poignantly add their opinions to their direct perception of the goddess.
		From these delusions the author distances himself and his expert reader with two parallel sets of speaking verbs, indicating that the Corybantes reveal their ignorance in the manner by which they designate external objects (611; 612; 616, echoed at 633; 634; 641).

	DACTYLS, Greek Mythology Link.
		The DACTYLS, sometimes identified with the CORYBANTES, were wizards and attendants of the Mother of the Gods (Rhea 1, wife of Cronos), and they lived in Phrygia about Mt. Ida. The Idaean DACTYLS
		It is said that the first male DACTYLS were five in number, being the first to discover and work iron, as well as many other useful things for the purposes of life, and that their sisters were five in number.
		It is suspected that both CURETES and CORYBANTES were offspring of the Idaean DACTYLS.

	Religious Cults Associated with the Amazons: Chapter II: The Great Mother
		Probably the tales of Corybantes and Curetes preserve the record of primitive armed dances of religious character, in honour of Phrygian Cybele and Cretan Rhea respectively.
		The Corybantic rites of Samothrace show that Hecate of this place was closely akin to the goddess of the same name, who was worshipped with Zeus Panamerius at Lagina in Caria, the chief centre of her cult in Asia Minor.
		This "Great Goddess" of Lemnos is Thracian Bendis, the fierce huntress of the two spears and the double worship, "of the heavens and of the earth," who received human sacrifice in her own country.

		It is difficult to thread one's way through the legends of the Builders and Titans, and their correspondences, the Curetes and Corybantes, or to find any clear distinctions between Heaven and Saturn and Zeus, in the 'battles fought for space'--dim legends of primary creation and nature-workings, and much else.
		The reflection of this Guardian Triad is found on both the noëtic and supercosmic planes, in the triads (and also hebdomads) respectively of the Curetes and Corybantes.
		The Curetes and Corybantes are frequently confused; they are the Guardians of the Creative Power, while it is yet too weak to defend itself.

		Her mythical train was formed by the Corybantes, answering to the Curetes of the Cretan Rhea; these were said to accompany her over the wooded hills, with lighted torches and with wild dances, amid the resounding music of flutes and horns and drums and cymbals.
		After these the priests of Cybele were also called Corybantes, and the festivals of the goddess were celebrated with similar orgies, in the frenzy of which the participators wounded each other or, like Attis, mutilated themselves.
		Besides these there were begging priests, called Metrdgyrtce and Cybebi, who roamed from place to place, as inspired servants and prophets of the Great Mother.

	Alibris: Carl Levenson
		In the dialogues of Plato, we find many references to the Corybantic rites.
		These were rites of initiation performed in honor of the goddess Rhea.
		However, as Carl Levenson argues in Socrates Among the Corybantes, Plato's dialogue entitled the Euthydemus contains more than a mere reference to the rites.
