Two sacred mountains are called Mount Ida in Greek mythology, equally
named
"Mount of the Goddess." Both are associated with the Mother Goddess in the
deepest layers of pre-Greek myth: Mount Ida, Crete, and Mount Ida, Turkey,
known as Phrygian Ida in Classical times. Mount Ida in Phrygia is sacred
to
another aspect of the Great Goddess as Cybele, the Mother Goddess, who is
often called Mater Idae ('The Idean Mother").

Very interesting. But it could be called "Minoan ber alles"!
Everything is "Minoan" !.. Any location where a few Minoan potteries
have been found is considered as a "Minoan colony",
even when the said potteries have been brought there
from Crete by another people, the Proto-Ionians for instance !..
Best regards
