{{about|the Thracian goddess|the surname|Kotys (surname)}}{{for|aristocrats named "Kotys", also spelled as "Cotys"|Cotys (disambiguation)}}{{confused|Cotys (disambiguation){{!}}Cotys|Koty (disambiguation){{!}}Koty}}Kotys ({{lang-grc|Κότυς}}) was a prominent Thracian goddess who was worshipped in a festival known as the Cotyttia. She was particularly worshipped among the Edones.[1] The Greeks considered Kotys to be an aspect of Persephone.[2][3]

Etymology

The name Kotys is believed to have meant "war, slaughter", akin to Old Norse Höðr "war, slaughter".[4]

Worship

Kotys's followers were known as baptes, which means "bathers,"[5] 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.[6] Her cult was very similar to the cult of the goddess Bendis.

Kotys was also worshiped at Corinth.[7][8]
