Idaea

Idaea or Idaia (Ancient Greek: Ἰδαία), which means "she who comes from Ida" or "she who lives on Ida",[1] referring to either the Cretan Mount Ida, or the Phrygian Mount Ida in the Troad, is the name of several figures in Greek mythology:

* Idaea, a nymph, who was the mother, by the river-god Scamander, of King Teucer.[2]
* Idaea, the daughter of the Scythian king Dardanus, and wife of Phineus, who falsely accused her stepsons, leading to their imprisonment and torture.[3]
* Idaea one of several epithets of Cybele, the great mother goddess of Anatolia, associated with Phrygian Mount Ida.[4]
* Idaea, a nymph who was said to be the mother, by the shepherd Theodorus, of Erythraean Sibyl Herophile, and gave birth to her in a grotto at Erythrae.[5]
* Idaea, the mother of the Kuretes (Κουρῆτες) by an earlier Zeus who was, according to a tradition attributed by Diodorus Siculus to the Phrygians, the brother of Uranus and king of Crete, rather than the Olympian Zeus.[6]
* Idaea, a nymph said to be the mother, by Zeus of Cres who was said to be the eponym of Crete.[7]
* Idaea or Ida, a daughter of Minos who was the mother of Asterion by Zeus.[8]
