She is the Mother of the gods in Roman mythology.
Cybele, a fertility and environment goddess who rules over caverns and mountaintops, is revered.
She defends the city and its inhabitants from invaders and conflict.
She revived her lover Attis after he was castrated and died of his wounds.
Her most ardent supporters were guys who had ritually castrated themselves and adopted female duties and attire.
Music, dancing, drinking, and orgies were all part of
the priestess' yearly spring celebration.
