The Curetes and Dactyls

The Curetes and Dactyls are spirits that guarded Zeus as an infant in a cave on Mount Ida. The Curetes were born from the blood of Uranus that fell upon Gaea and the Dactyls are only children of Gaea. Melisseus, Dactyl Heracles and Pyrrhichus were three of the Curetes and Dactyls. Others were Kelmis, Damnameneus, Idaius, Prymneus, Mimas, Acmon, Ocythoos, and possibly Hoplodamus, Anytus, Silenus, Hecaterus, Nysus, Olympus, Oxylus and Socus.
