Ida (mother of Minos)
In Greek mythology, Ida or Idê (Ancient Greek: Ἴδη, romanized: Idē, lit. 'timber' or 'woodland'[1]; pronounced /ˈiː.də/ or /ˈiː.daː/, EE-də or EE-dah) was the daughter of Corybas, who gave his name to the Corybantes. Her possible mother was Thebe, daughter of Cilix.[2] Ida married Lycastus, the king of Crete, who was the son of Minos I, the first king of Crete. She bore Lycastus a son, also named Minos, who succeeded his father as the "second" king Minos of Crete.[3][4]
