 Dactyls
the Dactyls of mount Ida in Phrygia, fabulous beings to whom the discovery of iron and the art of working it by means of fire was ascribed.
The tradition which assigns to them the Cretan Ida as their habitation, describes them as the earliest inhabitants of Crete, and as having gone thither with Mygdon (or Minos) from Phrygia, and as having discovered the iron in mount Berecynthus.
With regard to the real nature of the Dactyls, they seem to be no more than the mythical representatives of the discoverers of iron and of the art of smelting metals with the aid of fire, for the importance of this art is sufficiently great for the ancients to ascribe its invention to supernatural beings.

 Rhea 1, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
This rites, it has been noticed, have a resemblance with those exhibited in the worship of Dionysus 2, the reason being that this god, having been driven mad by Hera, came to Phrygia and was there purified by Rhea 1, learning from her the rites of initiation, as also did Oenone 1, Paris' first wife.
And there has been no little speculation about these customs, whether they originated in Phrygia or in Crete; for these two have many names in common, like Ida and Dicte.
And the same could be said of the DACTYLS, who learned their skill to work iron from Rhea 1; for though they were the attendants of the goddess in Phrygia, they are also related to Crete.

Ganymede was there, passing the time of exile many heros undergo in their youth, by tending a flock of sheep or, alternatively, during the chthonic or rustic aspect of his education, while gathering among his friends and tutors.
