Cabeiri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As a result, the membership and roles of the Cabiri changed significantly over time, with common variants including a female pair (Axierus and Axiocersa) and twin youths who were frequently confused with Castor and Pollux, who were also worshiped as protectors of sailors. |
 | | These came to be portrayed in art as a pair of gods: one old, reclining, bearded one and a younger, standing one. |
 | | In other accounts, one may infer that there was a multitude of them, such as in Pausanias, were they are described as a race or tribe, not merely four beings. |
