Attis (/ˈætɪs/; Greek: Ἄττις, also Ἄτυς, Ἄττυς, Ἄττης)[2] was the consort of Cybele, in Phrygian and Greek mythology.[a]
His priests were eunuchs, the Galli, as explained by origin myths pertaining to Attis castrating himself. Attis was also a Phrygian vegetation deity. His self-mutilation, death, and resurrection represents the fruits of the earth, which die in winter only to rise again in the spring.[5]
According to Ovid's Metamorphoses, Attis transformed himself into a pine tree.[6]
