1644 Cybele ENT_CYBELE reception_of Matar Kubileya ENT_PHRYG_MATAR high Greek/Roman Cybele is a Hellenized reception of the Phrygian Matar Kubileya; the transmission route was through Phocaean Greek traders contacting Phrygian cult centers in the 7th–6th c. BCE. Key moments: the introduction of Cybele to Smyrna and Ephesus (6th c. BCE), then to Athens (5th c. BCE), then to Rome (204 BCE as Magna Mater/Mater Deum). Roller (1999) pp. 119-165.

1645 Cybele ENT_CYBELE emanates_from Agdistis ENT_PHRYG_AGDISTIS medium In the Pessinuntine myth (Pausanias 7.17; Arnobius 5.5-7), Cybele/Matar emerges from the story of Agdistis; Agdistis represents the undifferentiated hermaphroditic divine before gender separation. Confidence medium because this relationship is expressed mythologically, not via a direct Cybele-from-Agdistis chain; the logic is: Agdistis castrated → almond tree → Attis, and Agdistis then merges with or becomes identified as Cybele in the later myth.

1646 Attis ENT_ATTIS emanates_from Agdistis ENT_PHRYG_AGDISTIS high In the Pessinuntine myth, Attis is born from the almond tree that springs from Agdistis's severed genitals; Agdistis is thus Attis's mythological origin. Pausanias 7.17.10-12; Arnobius Adversus Nationes 5.5-7; Roller (1999) pp. 141-143. Roller, Lynn E.

2384 Matar Kubileya ENT_PHRYG_MATAR reception_of Kubaba ENT_LUW_KUBABA high The Phrygian "Matar Kubileya" (Mother Kubileya) directly incorporates the name Kubaba of Carchemish in her epithet "Kubileya" — the phonological shift Kubaba → Kubileya is a regular Phrygian adaptation of the Luwian theonym. This is one of the most etymologically secure deity receptions in Anatolian religious history. The transmission route is geographic: the Luwian/Neo-Hittite states of SE Anatolia (principally Carchemish) bordered and influenced the Phrygian highlands, and the adoption of Kubaba's name and enthroned-queen-with-lion iconography into the Phrygian Matar tradition is consistent with the archaeological and linguistic evidence. Combined with the already-existing ENT_CYBELE reception_of ENT_PHRYG_MATAR, this relationship completes the chain: Kubaba → Matar Kubileya → Cybele. Roller (1999) pp. 67-79; Taracha (2009) p. 194.
