Cybele - Queen of the Gods
In Greek and Roman times Cybele is called the 'Mother of the Gods'.
A hymn of the second to third century AD adresses Cybele also as Queen and Goddess of the Gods:
The food of life
Thou metest out in eternal loyalty
And, when life has left us,
We take our refuge in Thee
Thus everything Though dolest out
Returns into thy Womb.
Rightly though art called the Mother of the Gods
Because by Thy loyalty
Though hast conquered the power of the Gods.
Verily Though art also the Mother
Of the peoples and the Gods,
Without Thee nothing can thrive nor be;
Though art powerful, of the Gods Though art
The Queen and also the Goddess.
from Baring/Cashford, The Myth of The Godess
suggested name:
• She is the Mother and Queen of the Deities
