i haven’t heard the myth variation where dionysus is driven mad by agdistis and gets help from cybele, where did you read that one? i’ve always thought agdistis and cybele were almost the same or syncretic deities since the myths i’ve read about them were so similar.
whether Agdistis and Cybele are two separate entities or two names for the same entity varies from myth to myth and region to region - and in yet other versions, Agdistis's forced castration transforms them into Cybele - so your information is good, if perhaps incomplete
I think I first encountered that particular Dionysos story in Raven Kaldera's work - he took some liberties, but it originates in the writing of Arnobius. maybe @flamingkorybante can pull the excerpt for you, I'm having a challenge finding the document but it's in The Case Against the Pagans, book 5 iirc
Rocket and I have had it retold to us via divination and channelling as well but that is UPG and I would not expect others to take that as gospel, more as a point of interest
the article we wrote about these stories in 201...5? is best described as "unhinged" and "scholastically questionable" but it does go into these stories more, if you want that - it's uploaded now on Proton Drive
