| 2385 | ENT_ATTIS | paired_with | ENT_PHRYG_MATAR | high | Attis is the consort and beloved of Matar Kubileya in the Phrygian tradition — their pairing is the theological foundation of the Cybele-Attis mystery cult. In the Pessinuntine myth Attis is the beautiful youth whom Cybele/Matar loves; his self-castration and death is the wound at the cult's emotional center, and the annual mourning and resurrection rites re-enact the divine pair's tragedy and renewal.
