''In Ancient Greece, bullroarers were especially used in the ceremonies of the priests of Cybele. A bullroarer was known as a rhombos (literally meaning "whirling" or "rumbling"), both to describe its sonic character and its typical shape, the rhombus. (Rhombos also sometimes referred to the rhoptron, a buzzing drum). [9]''

[Θεστυλί, ταὶ κύνες ἄμμιν ἀνὰ πτόλιν ὠρύονται·
ἁ θεὸς ἐν τριόδοισι· τὸ χαλκέον ὡς τάχος ἄχει.
Θέστυλι, άκου τα σκυλλιά στην πόλη πώς γαυγίζουν
θάνε στους δρόμους η θεά και θα περιδιαβαίνη.
Κρούσε μιαν ώρ' αρχήτερα την χάλκινη τη λάμα.

''...animal dancers are maidens also; and that one of them represents a lioness.''

http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/283485?uid=2129&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&sid=21103308052267

Abstract:

In Idyll II, 66-68, Theocritus speaks of a procession in honor of Artemis, in which at least one basket-bearing maiden takes part, and in which "many animals" move about, "among them a lioness." It is suggested in this paper that, as one or more basket-bearers walk along, a rout of mummers, representing various animals, cavort about them, encircling the more sedate procession; that these animal dancers are maidens also; and that one of them represents a lioness. The ritual as a whole honors Artemis in two of her aspects-as a goddess of fertility and as potnia thêrôn. The animal rout is a very old type of ritual. There are evidences of its use, either as a religious rite or as a form of amusement, from Minoan-Mycenaean times down through all subsequent ages to the present.
