Rhea and Cybele are not the same, though they share some similarities as goddesses in ancient mythology. Rhea is a Titaness in Greek mythology, known as the mother of the Olympian gods, including Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon. Cybele, on the other hand, is a Phrygian goddess associated with fertility, nature, and motherhood, often depicted with wild animals. While both represent aspects of motherhood and fertility, they belong to different cultural traditions and have distinct attributes and stories.
Her roman name is Cybele. I am doing a project about her right now so, I know for sure!
Both are "mountain mothers"; both are linked to lions.
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.
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.
