(Virgil,) from Dindymus-i; a mountain allotted by many to Phrygia. Strabo has two mountains of this name; one in Mytha near Cyzicus; the other in Gallograecia near Pessinus; and none in Phrygia. Ptolemy extends this ridge from the borders of Troas, through Phrygia to Gallograecia; though therefore there were two mountains called Dindymus in particular, both sacred to the mother of the gods, and none of them in Phrygia Major; yet there might be several hills and eminences in it, on which this goddess was worshipped, and therefore called Dindyma in general. Hence Cybele is furnamed Dindymane, (Horace.)
