Cybele ( ; 'Kubeleya Mother', perhaps 'Mountain Mother'; ; Kybélē, Kybēbē, Kybelis) is an Anatolian mother goddess; she may have a possible forerunner in the earliest Neolithic at Çatalhöyük. Greek colonists in Asia Minor adopted and adapted her Phrygian cult and spread it to mainland Greece and to the more distant western Greek colonies around the sixth century BC.

AI overview

Cybele is an ancient mother goddess who originated in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and was worshipped from at least the Phrygian period onward. Greek colonists adopted her cult around the sixth century BC and spread her worship throughout Greece and the western Mediterranean, making her one of the earliest foreign deities to gain widespread acceptance in the Greek world.
