Question: What type of beliefs does Mount Ida and Rhea have in common?

<P0-S0> In Greek mythology, two sacred mountains are called Mount Ida, the "Mountain of the Goddess": Mount Ida in Crete; and Mount Ida in the ancient Troad region of western Anatolia (in modern-day Turkey) which was also known as the "Phrygian Ida" in classical antiquity and is the mountain that is mentioned in the Iliad of Homer and the Aeneid of Virgil. <P0-S1>  Both are associated with the mother goddess in the deepest layers of pre-Greek myth, in that Mount Ida in Anatolia was sacred to Cybele, who is sometimes called "Mater Idaea" ("Idaean Mother"), while Rhea, often identified with Cybele, put the infant Zeus to nurse with Amaltheia at Mount Ida in Crete. <P0-S2>  Thereafter, his birthplace was sacred to Zeus, the king and father of Greek gods and goddesses. <SEP> <P1-S0>  In early traditions, she is known as "the mother of gods" and therefore is strongly associated with Gaia and Cybele, who have similar functions. <P1-S1> Rhea ( ; Greek: Ῥέα , ] ) is a character in Greek mythology, the Titaness daughter of the earth goddess Gaia and the sky god Uranus, and sister and wife to Cronus. <P1-S2>  The classical Greeks saw her as the mother of the Olympian gods and goddesses, but not as an Olympian goddess in her own right. <P1-S3>  The Romans identified her with Magna Mater (their form of Cybele), and the Goddess Ops. <SEP> <P2-S0> Described as “one of the most important late 18th century plantation houses in Virginia” by the Senior Architectural Historian, Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Historic Resources, Mount Ida was built c. 1795 by William Cannon, on a hill overlooking the south side of the James River near New Canton in Buckingham County, Virginia. <P2-S1>  The site was near the northwest corner of Cumberland County and across the river from Bremo. <P2-S2>  In 1805 Cannon sold the property to the legendary land baron David Ross, who subsequently sold the property to William Leitch, a Buckingham merchant. <P2-S3>  Around 1850, Leitch, laden with tobacco export wealth, added a major addition to the east side of the house, as evidenced by the difference in siding, window size and interior trim. <P2-S4>  The intricate, extraordinary interior woodwork with its elegant and unique composition was designed by a master builder, modeled after patterns found in two early 18th century architectural treatises, William Pain’s Science of Architecture and Asher Benjamin’s Practical House Carpenter. <P2-S5>  While Leitch family lore contends that Irish immigrants performed the work, scholars are of the opinion that the work may have been done by the same skilled craftsman who markedly similar woodwork at Woodlands (1789-1794), originally in Amelia County and since relocated to Goochland County. <P2-S6>  The interior of Mount Ida has been compared to that at Plain Dealing Plantation (circa late 1780’s), another exemplary plantation home a few miles away in Keene. <SEP> <P3-S0> In Greek mythology, Melisseus ("bee-man"), the father of the nymphs Adrasteia and Ide (or Aega, according to Hyginus) who nursed the infant Zeus on Crete, was the eldest and leader of the nine Kuretes of Crete. <P3-S1>  They were chthonic "daimones" of Mount Ida, who clashed their spears and shields to drown out the wails of infant Zeus, whom they received from the Great Goddess, Rhea, his mother. <P3-S2>  The infant-god was hidden from his cannibal father and was raised in the cave that was sacred to the Goddess ("Da") celebrated by the Kuretes, whose name it bore and still bears. <P3-S3>  The names of the two daughters of Melisseus, one called the "inevitable" (Adrasteia) and the other simply "goddess" (Ida, "de") are names used for the Great Mother Rhea herself.
