		The plain truth was that the Curetes never needed more than one or two replacements a year, so Bia and Kratos could afford the highest mortality rate among the recruits.
		Traditionally the final selection whenever a new Curete was needed, was made in a grand mêlée, a deadly tournament, in which all year's survivors, except for the lucky last man standing perished anyway.
		There was no place for individuality in the faceless corps of the Curetes, there was no place for one man singled out from the rest of the troop, it was disturbing to the necessary anonymity of this strict regime.

		They were the sacred king's armed companions, also known as Corybantes, whose weapon clashing was intended to drive off evil spirits during ritual performances, which seem to have been held for the purpose of "allowing the participants to become as one with the gods".

		According to them, Thestius 1's son Iphiclus 2 was the first to hit the terrible boar, and that is why the sons of Thestius 1 and the Curetes claimed the skin.
		When Meleager and the Curetes could not agree, war broke out between the two clans, although some believe that they were not quarreling for a boar skin but for the possession of territory, Thestius 1 being the master of Pleuron and the leader of the Curetes, and his rival Oeneus 2 the ruler of Calydon.

		Curetes: originally a group of daimons who danced around the baby Zeus when hidden in a cave from his father, Kronos.
		The Curetes came to refer generally to "enthusiastic and Bacchic types, who in the guise of acolytes, by dances in arms with tumult, noise, cymbals, tympana and weapons, also with the music of flutes and shouting, arouse the passions in the course of religious ceremonies" (Strabo, 63 BCE- 24 CE, cited in Guthrie, 43).
		Jeffrey Henderson, the translator of our edition of the Lysistrata, claims that they were "Eastern divinities associated with ecstatic dancing, and a popular way to refer to lunatics" (214n119).
