reading about ‘Curetes’, in Greek mythology: armored male dancers who worshipped the Phrygian goddess Cybele with drumming and dancing, kept time to a drum and their rhythmic foot stamping. Dance, according to Greek thought, was a civilizing activity like wine-making or music
Stone frieze of six ‘Curetes’ armoured male dancers from Ancient Greek mythology, protecting baby Zeus by covering the sound of his cries with noisy armoured dancing and foot stamping, outside a cave in Mount Ida, Crete.
