Hymn to The Mother of All the Gods

Now I'm going to say that I was confused by this title 'Mother of All the Gods.' If anyone could tell me which goddess that is being mentioned I would be very happy. I get this hymn from the Perseus Digital Library.

I Prithee, clear-voiced Muse, daughter of mighty Zeus, sing of the mother of all gods and men. She is well-pleased with the sound of rattles and of timbrels, with the voice of flutes and the outcry of wolves and bright-eyed lions, [5] with echoing hills and wooded coombes.

And so hail to you in my song and to all goddesses as well!
