She seemed, indeed, like some fruitful Cybele, retaining all firmness of contour, and living anew in the broad daylight with gentle good humor sparkling in her large black eyes.
If l'Encuerado had been acquainted with the history of his ancestors, he would have been able to give you some better information about them; he would have known that, in the Aztec mythology, they were sacred to the mother of the gods, the goddess Matlacueye, who, curiously enough, fills the part of Cybele among the Greek goddesses, whose favorite tree was also the pine."
Neither Yaquita, nor her daughter, nor Lina, nor old Cybele, had ever seen anything like this. But in this jurisdiction of Para, Manoel was at home, and he could tell them the names of the double chain which gradually narrowed the valley of the huge river. "To the right," said he, "that is the Sierra de Paracuarta, which curves in a half-circle to the south!
She who was held up as the Lady of Sorrows just as Isis, and Cybele, and Hertha had been before her, but of that Agnes knew nothing she who was pictured by the Church as the fountain of mercy and compassion the maiden who could sympathise with the griefs of womanhood, the mother who had influence with, yea, authority over, the divine Son what place did Friar Laurence find for her in his teaching?

Astarte had a magnificent temple at Hieropolis served by three hundred priests, who were always employed in offering sacrifices. The priests of Cybele, called Corybantes, also Galli, were not admitted to their sacred functions without previous mutilation.
It would seem that in this Deity, who is figured in connection with a shield and serpent, as is Minerva, and who is worshipped near water an emblem which is sacred to her, and whose titles correspond exactly to those of Neith or Cybele, might be traced the remnants of a once universal worship a worship in which the female energy constituted the Creator.
Chaldaean astrologers and casters of nativities were already in the sixth century spread throughout Italy; but a still more important event one making in fact an epoch in the world's history was the reception of the Phrygian Mother of the Gods among the publicly recognized divinities of the Roman state, to which the government had been obliged to give its consent during the last weary years of the Hannibalic war . A special embassy was sent for the purpose to Pessinus, a city in the territory of the Celts of Asia Minor; and the rough field-stone, which the priests of the place liberally presented to the foreigners as the real Mother Cybele, was received by the community with unparalleled pomp.
