I've been thinking a lot about Paul's letter to the Galatians (since my post
the other day on 5:12). The "galli" (Gauls) were, after the cult of Cybele
had been formally established in Rome (203 BCE), the Roman Korybantes of
Cybele. Gauls had overrun Phrygia earlier in the 3rd century, and their
region was subsequently known to Romans as Galatia. The galli castrated
themselves to emulate Attis, the consort of their goddess. Is it possible
that Paul's Letter to the Galatians is in fact a letter to the "Galli"? Or
is that an over-reach?
