In Roman religion Opis (in classical religion, Ops in archaic religion) became associated with Rhea because Saturn became associated with Cronus, whose wife was Rhea. Rhea in early traditions was known as "the mother of gods" and therefore is strongly associated with Cybele, who had similar functions. Therefore, the Romans also associated Magna Mater (Great Mother) with Rhea. This is the name the Romans gave to Cybele when they adopted her during the Second Punic War.
Her roman name is Cybele. I am doing a project about her right now so, I know for sure!
Opis/Ops (Roman goddess) = Rhea/ Cybele/ Cybebe (known to the Phrygians as Mater Kubileya)
Rhea was a Titanus daughter of the goddess Gaia and the sky god Uranus. Traditionally she is referred to as "the mother of gods" which gave her a strong association with both Gaia and Cybele who had similar functions.
According to solarviews.com:"Adrastea was the daughter of Jupiter and Ananke and the distributor of rewards and punishments"This, however, in mythology, is not accurate. Adrastea/Adrasteia/Adrastia (not running away) was the nurse of Jupiter/Zeus, along side her sister Ida, appointed to this task by Rhea - mother of Zeus, and their father might have been Melisseus (of Bees/Honey).The tragedy Rhesus, no longer attributed to Euripides, makes Adrasteia the daughter of Zeus, rather than his nurse.Adrasteia was also an epithet of Nemesis, Rhea herself, to Cybele, and to Ananke. These four were especially associated with the dispensation of rewards and punishments.
