Cabiri

(also Cabeiri), in Greek mythology, deities originating in Asia Minor (probably Phrygia), who fulfilled the combined functions of chthonic deities and fertility demons. The Cabiri were also considered the protectors of seafarers and the saviors of the shipwrecked. Their cult was widespread along the coasts of Asia Minor, on the islands of the northern Aegean Sea, and partly in northern and central Greece. The most ancient and famous sanctuaries of the Cabiri were located in Thebes (Boe-otia), on the island of Lemnos, and especially on the island of Samothrace. Here they were revered as “great gods,” and the mysteries, which had been extremely popular beginning with Hellenic times, were performed in their honor.
