Ida (mother of Minos)

In Greek mythology, Ida (Ancient Greek: Ἴδη means 'wooded mountain'[1]) or Ide, according to Diodorus Siculus, was the daughter of Corybas, who gave his name to the Corybantes. Ida married Lycastus, the king of Crete, who was the son of Minos, the first king of Crete. She bore Lycastus a son, also named Minos, who succeeded Lycastus as the "second" king Minos of Crete.[2][3]
