	Greek Mythology: CORYBANTES / KORYBANTES Daimones of Euboea, Protectors of Dionysus
		THE EUBOIAN KORYBANTES or KOURETES were seven orgiastic dancing DAIMONES (Spirits) which protected the infant Dionysos on the island of Euboia, along with the Nymphe Mystis (or Makris).
		It is more likely that these "Korybantes" were the Euboian Aristaios and his brothers, who in local myth were nurses of the infant god Dionysos.
		[Korybante] Prymneus succoured the excited Bakkhai women, like a fair wind which blows astern and saves the mariner riding with the gales; full welcome he came to the army, as [Dioskouros] Polydeukes brings calm to buffeted ships when he puts to sleep the heavy billows of the galebreeding sea.

	To Sit in Solemn Silence? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Apart from Plato's use of the term, which explicitly refers to Korybantic ritual, the only other uses are in Hesychius, which is a gloss on the Plato passage, and in the Sibylline oracles (8.43-9), where the ritual of thronosis is located on Crete.
		The mythic parallel for this thronosis ritual seems to be the story of the infant Dionysos, either as he is being guarded by the Korybantes from hostile forces or as he is being distracted and attacked by the Titans.
		This ambiguity between the guardian Korybantes and the hostile Titans recurs in the variety of stories of the infancy of Dionysos and of Zeus, and it is certainly appropriate for the beginning ordeal of an initiation, where the initiand is not certain what his initiators will be doing to him.

		The aulos accompanied a wide range of Greek activities: it was present at sacrifices, dramas and even wrestling matches, for the broad jump, the discus throw, sailor's dances on tiremes Plato associates it with the ecstatic cults of Dionysus and the Korybantes.
		We might surmise that things were different at Thebes, which was a center of aulos-playing.
		And we know that at Sparta - which had no Bacchic or Korybantic cults to serve as contrast - the aulos was actually associated with Apollo, and accompanied the kings into battle.

	From Ritual to Romance, Chapter 7 - Jesse L. Weston
		The Korybantes were of Phrygian origin, attached to the worship of the goddess Kybele, and Attis, the well-known Phrygian counterpart to the Phoenician Adonis, and originally the most important embodiment of the Vegetation Spirit.
		The dance of the Korybantes is distinguished from that of the Kouretes by its less restrained, and more orgiastic character; it was a wild and whirling dance resembling that of the modern Dervishes, accompanied by self-mutilation and an unrhythmic clashing of weapons, designed, some writers think, to overpower the cries of the victims.
		The interest of the Korybantes for our investigation lies in the fact that here again we have the Sword Dance in close and intimate connection with the worship of the Vegetation Spirit, and there can be no doubt that here, as elsewhere, it was held to possess a stimulating virtue.

		And they suspect that both the Kouretes and the Korybantes were offspring of the Daktyloi Idaioi; at any rate, the first hundred men born in Krete were called Idaean Daktyloi, they say, and as offspring of these were born nine Kouretes, and each of these begot ten children who were called Daktyloi Idaioi.
		Korybantes as protectors of the infant Dionysos appears to be a late myth.
