Agdistis was born from the earth when Zeus's seed fell on the rock of Agdos near Pessinus; the gods, fearing the hermaphroditic being, castrated it, from whose severed genitals sprang the almond tree \u2014 and from the almond tree, Attis. Agdistis then fell in love with Attis, which led to his self-castration. The myth is uniquely Phrygian/Pessinian; it does not appear in the Olympian Greek tradition. The \"Pessinuntine myth\" as reconstructed from Pausanias and Arnobius is the fullest account of the indigenous Phrygian theological origin of the Cybele-Attis complex.
