Geographica 10.3.19

Original


ἔτι δὲ Κρόνου τινές, ἄλλοι δὲ Διὸς καὶ Καλλιόπης φασὶ τοὺς Κορύβαντας τοὺς αὐτοὺς τοῖς Καβείροις ὄντας, ἀπελθεῖν δὲ τούτους εἰς Σαμοθρᾴκην καλουμένην πρότερον Μελίτην, τὰς δὲ πράξεις αὐτῶν μυστικὰς εἶναι.

Translation in Greek


Επιπλέον, μερικοί λένε ότι οι Κορύβαντες ήταν γιοι του Κρόνου και άλλοι ότι ήταν γιοι του Δία και της Καλλιόπης και ότι ταυτίζονταν με τους Κάβειρους. Και ότι αυτοί πήγαν στη Σαμοθράκη, που παλαιότερα ονομαζόταν Μελίτη, και ότι οι ιεροτελεστίες τους ήταν μυστικές.

Translation in English


Further, some call the Corybantes sons of Cronus, but others say that the Corybantes were sons of Zeus and Calliope and were identical with the Cabeiri, and that these went off to Samothrace, which in earlier times was called Melite, and that their rites were mystical.
