Kouretes - Cretan Mythological Creatures. The Kouretes Daktyloi were three, five, or nine rustic Daimones (Spirits) appointed by Goddess Rhea to guard the infant god Zeus in the Idaeon Cave on Mount Ida in Crete. In order to keep him hidden from his cannibalistic father, Cronus, they drowned out his cries with a frenzied dance of clashing spear and shield. The Kouretes were gods of the wild mountainside, inventors of the rustic arts of metalworking, shepherding, hunting and beekeeping.
