Kotys
Kotys was a prominent Thracian goddess who was worshipped in a festival known as the Cotyttia. She was particularly worshipped among the Edones. Suda mentioned that is was worshiped among the Corinthians.
The Greeks considered Kotys to be an aspect of Persephone.Etymology
The name Kotys is believed to have meant "war, slaughter", akin to Old Norse Höðr "war, slaughter".Worship
Kotys's followers were known as baptes, which means "bathers," because their pre-worship purification ceremony involved an elaborate bathing ritual. Kotys was often worshipped during nocturnal ceremonies, which were associated with rampant insobriety and obscene behavior. Her cult was very similar to the cult of the goddess Bendis.
Kotys was also worshiped at Corinth.
