Kabiroi

Agamemnon, Talthybius dan Epeius, relief dari Samotrakia, sekitar 560 SM, Louvre

Dalam mitologi Yunani, Cabeiri atau Cabiri /kəbr/ (bahasa Yunani Kuno: Κάβειροι, Kábeiroi), juga ditransliterasikan menjadi Kabiri /kəˈbɪər/,[1] adalah sekelompok dewa-dewi khthonik misterius. Mereka disembah dalam kultus misteri yang sangat berkaitan dengan Hephaestus, yang terpusat di utara kepulauan Aegea Lemnos dan mungkin Samotrakia—di kompleks kuil Samotrakia—dan di Thebes.[2]
