Dindymon
In Greek mythology, Dindymon〔Rarely Dindymus, as in Pliny's Natural History V.142 and Sextus Propertius, III.22.3.〕 (), was a mountain in eastern Phrygia (today's Murat Dağı of Gediz), later part of Galatia, that was later called Agdistis, sacred to the "mountain mother", Cybele, whom the Hellenes knew as Rhea. Strabo sited Dindymon above Pessinos, sacred to Cybele.
A Mount Dindymon might also be placed on the peninsula of Cyzicus facing the Sea of Marmara, as in Apollonius of Rhodes' ''Argonautica'', or by Stephanus Byzantinicus further south, in the Troad, thus near Mount Ida. ''Argonautica'' book I sets a scene at Mount Dindymon, where Jason placates the goddess of the mountain, "the mother of all the blessed gods, where she sits enthroned".〔Apollonius of Rhodes (Peter Green, tr.), ''Argonautika'', expanded ed. 2007, book I.1093-94.〕 identified as "Dindymene () the mother, Lady of many names,"〔''Argonautika'' I.1125〕 among which was Rhea.〔(Apollonius of Rhodes), Richard Hunter, tr., 1993. ''Jason and the Golden Fleece'' (Oxford: Clarendon Press), Book I, p. 29f.〕
The various applications of Dindymon, as the mountain of the Anatolian Mother Goddess, the "Mountain Mother", is explained by Robinson Ellis:〔Robinson Ellis, 1876. ''A Commentary on Catullus'' (Oxford: Clarendon Press), Catullus LXIII.91 (p. 224)〕 "The name Dindymenian mother would in the first instance no doubt be connected with the earliest seat of the worship, the Phrygian Dindymon, but as soon as the worship spread farther and the name of Dindymon with it, the Goddess of Dindymon would lose its original definiteness and be variously applied by different writers."
