According to the Greek mythology, the Korybantes were the armed and crested dancers who worshipped the Phrygian goddess Cybele with drumming and dancing. They are also called the Kurbantes in Phrygia. The conventional English equivalent is "Corybants". The Korybantes were the offspring of Thalia and Apollo.

The Curetes were a group of minor deities of the Greek religion, part of the courtship of Rhea, wife of Cronus. They were repeatedly identified with Coribanti.
Referred to as the people of Etolia in the ninth book of the Iliad of Homer, they are more often connected to the myth of the birth of Zeus: the mother Rea, at the time of giving birth, for fear that even the last of her children could be swallowed by Chrono , he fled to Crete; here he found the Curetes, driven from their land, Euboea, from his father and landed on this island together with his mother Chalcis. When Rea gives birth to Zeus, they are ready to protect the child from the familiality of Kronos. Their dances and the noise of the weapons beaten against the shields manage to hide the little Zeus's wails.
