This association is supported by various texts and depictions that depict Attis as a sun god, often symbolizing the power and warmth of the sun. The other options, such as "the big god," "the vegetation god," and "the Phrygian god," are not accurate descriptions of Attis based on the available information.

    Nana is the correct answer because according to Greek mythology, Attis was born from the almond tree when the fruit fell into the lap of Nana, a nymph. This makes Nana his mother. Cybele is a goddess associated with Attis but not his mother. Erebus is a primordial deity and Aphrodite is a goddess of love and beauty, neither of which are Attis' mother.
