504 S. "sSext. Empir. (Bekker), 174.
*'^ Strabo, p. 466: iiffre Kal ra iepa TpbTrov riva KOivoiroielffdai ravrd re (re- ferring to the Corybantic rites of Crete) /cat twv ^a/jwdpi^Kuv Kal rk iv h. -fiixv(i>. "' Hesych. S. V. Al\oyxos- >i8 Schol. Plato, Republic, 327. Cf. Mommsen, Heort. P. 488.
27 Thus a long list may be «iade out of female deities who show the general characteristics of Phrygian Cybele: the Lydian Mother, Cybebe or Cybele; Rhea of Crete; Hecate of Samo- thrace and Lagina; Bend...is of Thrace and Lemnos; Cappadocian Ma;^^^ Britomartis, or Dictynna, of Crete, who is Aphaea at Aegina;^-° the Syrian goddess of Hierapolis;^^^ several forms of Artemis, — of the Tauric Chersonese, of Brauron, of Laodicea, ^^^ of Ephesus, ^^^ Artemis-Aphrodite of Persia.^^^ The con- ception common to all these is that of a nature-goddess, whose rites are orgiastic, and whose protection, as that of a woman- warrior, is claimed for the state. It is probably correct to assume that Artemis Tauropolos, to whom Diodorus^^^ says that the Amazons offered sacrifice, is a form of Cybele, presumably Tauric Artemis.
