Agdistis () was a deity of Greek, Roman and Anatolian mythology, possessing both male and female sexual organs, connected with the Phrygian worship of Attis and Cybele.

Scholars have theorized that Agdistis is part of a continuum of androgynous Anatolian deities, including an ancient Phrygian deity probably named " Andistis " and one called " Adamma ", stretching all the way back to the ancient kingdom of Kizzuwatna in the 2nd millennium BC.

* Agdistis, a Phrygian hermaphrodite goddess

He was originally a local semi-deity of Phrygia, associated with the great Phrygian trading city of Pessinos, which lay under the lee of Mount Agdistis.

There is also some epigraphic evidence that in places Agdistis was considered a healing goddess of wholly benevolent nature.

The Phrygian goddess Cybele would then be the counterpart of the Hurrian goddess Hebat.

The Corybantes (; ) were the armed and crested dancers who worshipped the Phrygian goddess Cybele with drumming and dancing.

Cybele ( Phrygian: Matar Kubileya / Kubeleya " Kubeleyan Mother ", perhaps " Mountain Mother "; Lydian Kuvava ; Kybele, Κυβήβη Kybebe, Κύβελις Kybelis ), was an originally Anatolian mother goddess.

The inscription matar kubileya at a Phrygian rock-cut shrine, dated to the first half of the 6th century BCE, is usually read as " Mother of the mountain ", a reading supported by ancient Classical sources, and consistent with Cybele as any of several similar tutelary goddesses, each known as " mother " and associated with specific Anatolian mountains or other localities ; a goddess " born from stone ".

She is ancient Phrygia's only known goddess, and was probably the highest deity of the Phrygian State.

Galli ) was a eunuch priest of the Phrygian goddess Cybele, whose worship was incorporated into the state religious practices of ancient Rome.

In some accounts, Gordias and the Phrygian goddess Cybele adopted Midas.

Comparisons have also been made with the name of Zemelo & Žemelė, the Phrygian and Lithuanian goddess of the earth, and with the Lithuanian chthonic god Žemeliūkštis.

She was sometimes called " Adrasteia ", probably meaning " one from whom there is no escape "; her epithet Erinys (" implacable ") is specially applied to Demeter and the Phrygian mother goddess, Cybele.

In contrast to her putative " Amazonian " Roman original, Greek coinage depicts Roma in the " dignified and rather severe style " of a Greek goddess, often wearing a mural crown, or sometimes a Phrygian helmet.

One is fighting and victorious, recalling the Greek goddess Athena: she has a bare breast, the Phrygian cap and a red corsage, and has an arm lifted in a gesture of rebellion.

The obverse figure is a depiction of the mythological goddess Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, a classic Western symbol of liberty and freedom, with its wings intended to symbolize freedom of thought.

The broad band which girds the top of the room contains medallions of the ruddy goddess and of the Phrygian youth intermixed with the instruments and the emblems of the chase, his favorite amusement.

A major shrine of the Phrygian goddess Cybele was built in nearby Vienne, and she also seems to have found special favor in Lugdunum in the late 1st century and 2nd century.

The Phrygian goddess Cybele with her attributes

According to Mark Munn ( Munn 2004 ), her cult later spread and her name was adapted for the main goddess of the Hittite successor-kingdoms in Anatolia, which later developed into the Phrygian matar ( mother ) or matar kubileya whose image with inscriptions appear in rock-cut sculptures.

The Phrygian goddess otherwise bears little resemblance to Kubaba, who was a sovereign deity at Sardis, known to Greeks as Kybebe.

The mother goddess is likely to have had a later counterpart in the Phrygian goddess Cybele.

Some scholars have attempted to link Old Norse Nanna with the Sumerian goddess Inanna, the goddess Nannar / Babylonian Ishtar, or the Phrygian goddess Nana, mother of the god Attis.
