In Greek mythology, Ida (Ancient Greek: 'timber' or 'woodland'[1]) or Idê was the daughter of Corybas, who gave his name to the Corybantes. Her possible mother was Thebe, daughter of Cilix.[2] 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 his father as the "second" king Minos of Crete.[3][4]
