Показать описание
Το Δικταίο άντρο είναι το σπήλαιο στο οποίο κατέφυγε η Ρέα για να γεννήσει τον μελλοντικό πατέρα των θεών Δία, από φόβο μήπως και ο Κρόνος καταβροχθίσει και αυτόν τον γιο που θα γεννούσε (υπήρχε ένας χρησμός που έλεγε ότι ο Κρόνος θα σκοτωθεί από το γιο του και με αυτό τον τρόπο ο Κρόνος προστάτευε τον εαυτό του). Η Ρέα όμως τον ξεγέλασε και, αντί για το βρέφος, του έδωσε ένα βράχο τυλιγμένο στα σπάργανα του μωρού. Στη συνέχεια άφησε τον Δία εκεί για να τον αναθρέψουν οι Δικταίοι Κουρήτες, κρυφά από τον πατέρα του .
Psychro Cave (Greek: Σπήλαιο Ψυχρού) is an ancient Minoan sacred cave in the Lasithi district of eastern Crete. Psychro is associated with the Diktaean Cave, the putative site of Zeus' birth. According to Hesiod, Theogony 477, Rhea gave birth to Zeus in a cave of Mount Aegaeon, near Lyttos; since the late nineteenth century the cave above the modern village of Psychro has been identified with this sanctuary.
The Dictaean cave is famous in Greek mythology as the place where Amalthea, perhaps known in Crete as Dikte, nurtured the infant Zeus with her goat's milk, the mythic connection to the long use as a site of cult attested here by its archaeology. The nurse of Zeus, who was charged by Rhea to raise the infant Zeus in secret here, to protect him from his father Cronus (Krónos) is also called the nymph Adrasteia in some contexts. It is one of a number of caves believed to have been the birthplace or hiding place of Zeus.
