	Koryvandes
		They are interchangeable with the Kuretes (Curetes), another brotherhood worshipping the Great Mother Goddess, as Rhea, in Crete.
		In the Greek telling of Zeus' birth, the Kuretes' ritual clashing spears and shields were interpreted as intended to drown out the infant god's cries, and prevent his discovery by his father Cronus.
		Koryvandes or Kuretes presided over the infancy of Dionysus, another god who was born as a babe, and of Zagreus, a Cretan child of Zeus.

	Melisseus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, Melisseus ("bee-man"), the father of the nymphs Adrasteia and Ide who nursed the infant Zeus on Crete, was the eldest and leader of the nine Kuretes of Crete.
		The infant-god was hidden from his cannibal father and was raised in the cave that was sacred to the Goddess (Da) celebrated by the Kuretes, whose name it bore and still bears (Apollodorus, Library, 1.1.6 and 1.4-.5).
		The infant god was fed on milk and honey, the milk of the goat-nymph Amaltheia.

	Birth of Zeus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Kuretes clashed their spears against their shields to conceal the noise of the wailing baby.
		Zeus was nursed by the shepherds of the Nida Plateau in the Ida Mountains and lived in a cave, Spileo Ideon Andron on the Nida Plateau.
		Another element in the myth relates that the safety of Zeus is ensured by a group of divine beings called kuretes who dance around the young child, creating such a noise that the cries of the child cannot be heard by Cronus.

	Greek & Roman Cities of Western Turkey
		Main streets were often treated as carefully as the monuments they contained, and would be designed where possible to provide a focus for them, as happens in the Street of the Kuretes at Ephesus, which frames the Library of Celsus.
		From its terrace, this temple to the Emperor-cult is therefore visible from the market place and the harbour, as well as from the top of the Kuretes Street: thus the Emperor-God both protects and dominates his city.
		Today, with nothing of the temple surviving (too high to get silted, and therefore easy prey for the robbers?), the terrace is a good vantage point from which to survey the whole of the site.

	cronosrhea
		Zeus is guarded by the Kuretes, a group of young warriors who bang their shields when the baby cries in order to hide the sound from Kronos.
		Perhaps because Athena sometimes borrowed her father Zeus' aegis, her own shield (often shown as being mounted with the head of Medusa) was sometimes called an aegis.
		In terms of Dumezil's New Comparativism, the loyalty to the ruler Zeus of the Kuretes and Amaltheia, symbols of the warrior and peasant class, respectively, validates and confirms the "proper" relationship among the three moieties of Indo-European society.
