Redirected from Corybantes
In the legend of Zeus' birth, the Koryvandes clashed their spears and shields to drown out the infant god's cries, and prevent his discovery by his father Cronus.
In this legend, the Koryvandes may have been Cretan vegetation demons, later subsumed into the Greek pantheon.
