**Cotytto**, the goddefs of all debauchery. Her festivals called *Cotytta* were celebrated by the Athenians, Corinthians, Thracians, &c. during the night. Her priests were called *bapte*, and nothing but debauchery. Cherry and wantonness prevailed at the celebration. A festival of the same name was observed in Sicily, where the votaries of the goddess carried about boughs hung with cakes and fruit, which it was lawful for any person to pluck off. It was a capital punishment to reveal whatever was seen or done at these sacred festivals. It cost Eupolis his life for an unseasonable reflection upon them. The goddess Cotytto is supposed to be the same as Persephone.
