Curetae

Curetae in Greek mythology, were originally priests of the orgiastic Jupiter cultus on Crete. They were armed, and their worship consisted in weapon-dances. The latter was also the case with the Corybantes and with the Ideaan Dactyles; therefore these three classes were eventually confused. According to Strabo, those Curetae who were among the oldest inhabitants of AEtolia were different from the above.
