Dindyme'ne

Δινδυμήνη or Δινδυμένη), a surname of Cybele, derived either from mount Dindymus in Phrygia, where a temple was believed to have been built to her by the Argonauts (Apollon. 1.985, with the Schol.; Strab. xii. p.575; Callim. Epigr. 42; Hor. Carm. 1.16. 5; Catull. 63, 91; Serv. ad Aen. 9.617), or from Dindyme, the wife of Maeon and mother of Cybele. (Diod. 3.58.)
