Greek Anthology 6.173.1-2 (Rhianos); upon leaving the cult, an attendant of Kybele dedicates her hair; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 176); (vol. II, 506-507); and further extracts from this epigram at
gamma 23,
kappa 2588, and
omicron 540. For this woman--whose name may be incorrectly transmitted by the Suda (cf. Gow and Page (vol. II, 506))--see already
alpha 4720. On the Phrygian goddess Kybele (Cybele), equivalent to the Minoan goddess Rhea, see also
kappa 2586.
