Cybele was associated with wild nature, fertility, and protection in war. Her worship involved various rituals and ceremonies, some of which were quite elaborate and ecstatic. The priests of Cybele, known as the Galli, were eunuchs who performed frenzied dances and music during festivals. One of the most important festivals dedicated to her was the Megalesia, celebrated in April with games, processions, and theatrical performances.
