	Kabeiroi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The etymology of the name Κάβειροι (Kabeiroi) is unknown, and is probably a loan from the Lemnian language.
		The name of Kadmilus (or Kasmilos), one of the Kabeiroi who was usually depicted as a young boy, was linked even in antiquity to camillus, an old Latin word for a boy-attendant in a cult, which is probably a loan from the Etruscan language.
		The Kabeiroi as Karkinoi were apparently thought of as amphibious beings (again recalling the Telchines).

	Cabiri
		The Kabeiroi cult is attested in ancient Greece (particularly, at Thebes) and also in Thrace (at Seuthopolis, etc.) and Asia Minor, with the islands of Samothrace and Lemnos seeming to be the focus.
		On Lemnos, the sanctuary dedicated to the Kabeiroi is identifiable by traces of inscriptions and seems to have survived the Greek conquest by Miltiades in the 6th century, and the program of Hellenization that ensued.
		The geographer Strabo reported that in Lemnos, the mother (there was no father) of the Kabeiroi was Kabeiro herself, a daughter of Proteus, one of the "old men of the sea," a goddess whom the Greeks might have called Rhea.

	Seuthopolis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The dual role of Seuthes' palace (Royal court and sanctuary) indicates that Seuthes was a priest-king: the high-priest of the Kabeiroi among the Odrysian Thracians.
		A hearth altar stood in the center of the Kabeiroi sanctuary, the Kabeiroi being associated with fire and metallurgy and with the smith-god Hephaestus.
		The cemetery of Seuthopolis included a number of brick tholos tombs, some covered by tumuli, in which the upper-class were interred, sometimes along with their horses.

		The 'mysteries of the Kabeiroi' (sometimes spelt Cabiri) is one of the esoteric traditions associated with the Hellenic Aeon.
		Later, this tradition became divided - Eleusis representing the 'Apollonian' element, the Kabeiroi the 'Dionysian' or darker aspects, for it is said that all Initiates of the Cabiri had to have committed a crime greater than common ones.
		The mysteries of the Kabeiroi were often celebrated in mountain shrines (certain combinations of rock and underground water being regarded as sacred - that is, capable by their magickal power of transforming the consciousness of individuals (cf.

		The mysteries were one of Demeter's gifts to the Kabeiroi, who had been chased out of their country by the Argives.
		Demeter's wrath toward men was implacable, as was shown by the punishment of the Persians who came with Mardonios and dared to enter their temple and pillage it, and later, after Alexander seized Thebes, when the Macedonians who had entered the sanctuary of the Kabeiroi were all killed by thunderbolts.
		The Kabeiroi were said to be guardians of vines and the fertility of animals (over 1400 representations of animals have been found, also over 700 representations of the pais, either the son or an accompanying slave).

	Greek Mythology: CABEIRI KABEIROI Gods of the Mysteries of Samothrace
		The Kabeiroi were closely identified with various other Korybantic Daimones such as the Kouretes of Krete, the Daktyloi of the Troad (particularly when these are numbered three), and the Kouretes of Phrygia.
		Some say the Daimones of Samothrake were Kabeiroi, others that among their number were two Kabeiroi sons of Hephaistos and a number of Korybantes sons of Apollon.
		Two of the Korybantes [Kabeiroi] slew a third one, who was their brother, covered the head of the corpse with a purple cloak, and then wreathed and buried it, bearing it upon a brazen shield to the skirts of Olympos.

		Before looking at Samothrace in detail, it may be useful to review the subject of the Great Mother and her worshippers, since earth, mining, metal-working, electricity and fertility are related in the Greek mind.
		There was a Mount Ida in Phrygia, and it was said that Idaean Dactyls, called the Kabeiroi, came from Phrygia to Samothrace with their secret cult.
		Pausanias I: 4: 6: In antiquity, Pergamene territory was the sacred ground of the Kabeiroi.

		Kabeiroi associated with seafaring, so original ship in the ritual may have been theirs.
		Kabeiroi may have kindled the new fire on Mt. Mosychlos after the festival and then conveyed it by torch race to the town to be distributed.
		Medicinal cakes of red earth were made perhaps on Mt. Mosychlos by the priestess of Artemis about the same time of year as the Kabeiroi convention, which was itself connected with the fire festival.

	Kabeiroi
		In Lemnos they fostered the vine and fruits of the field, and from their connection with Hermes in Samothrace it would also seem that they promoted the fruitfulness of cattle.
		Diodorus Siculus said of the Kabeiroi that they were Idaioi dactyloi— "Idaian dactyls" in the sense of Phrygian Mount Ida, sacred to the goddess— there was also a suggestion that the mysteries associated with Orpheus had their origins among the Kabeiroi.
		Outsiders might easily confuse the Kabeiroi with the Korybantes, the Kuretes, the Telchines of Rhodes, and among the Minyans of Lemnos, the Hephaistoi— the "Hephaestus-men" who knew the mysteries of the forge and the secret arts of metal-working— all venerated by initiated men's groups, whose origins lay in the most distant past.

		Some say the Kabeiroi are the same as the Samothracian Great Gods, but They are Chthonian Crab-Beings said to be descended from Hephaistos, who was raised in an undersea grotto, and from Kabeiro, who was a daughter of Proteus.
		The principal Kabeiroi are Kabeiros and Kabeiria, from whom came the three male Kabeiroi, who with Kabeiros are the Astral Semina (Star Seeds), and three female Kabeirides, who with Kabeiria are the Elemental Semina (Material Seeds); together They continually recreate the world.
		Nonnus told of two Kabeiroi, Alkon and Eurumedon, transformers of metal, who stood upon the terrible fire-sprouting rock of Lemnos and brandished blazing bolts; streams of sparks issued from Their eyes, like the smokey, ruddy glow of Their father's furnace.

		Of Celmis Ovid (in Metamorphoses iv) made a story that when Rhea was offended at this childhood companion of Zeus, she asked Zeus to turn him to diamond-hard adamant, like a tempered blade.
		The "Cabiri" (Kabeiroi) whose sacred place was on the island of Samothrace, were understood by Diodorus Siculus to have been Idaean dactyls who had come west from Phrygia and whose magical practices had made local converts to their secret cult.
		On Rhodes, Telchines were the name given to similar chthonic men, nine in number, remembered by Greeks as dangerous Underworld smiths and magicians, and multiplied into an entire autochthonous race that had reared Poseidon but had been supplanted by Apollo in his Helios role.

		In every case, the ritual of enthronement described by thronosis or thronismos entails a vigorous dancing around the initiate, who is bewildered by the treatment.
		Sometimes the dancers are Kouretes or even Kabeiroi instead of Korybantes, but type of ritual remains the same.
		This kind of Korybantic ritual appears in a number of representations, which show men, usually armed with spear and shield, dancing around a seated figure.

		The mythology behind the name of Cabiri can be found in the work of Eliade (Forge and Crucible) who "argues that alchemy had its origin in the ancient Craft of the Smith, which combined religion, magic and metallurgy.
		The Kabeiroi of Samothrace, who are skilled in meteoric alchemy and instructed Orpheus in Their Mysteries, are called Hephaistoi because They are smiths and are descended from Kabeiros and Kabeiria, that is, Hephaistos and Hekate.
		Two of them were said to stand on a fire-sprouting rock on Lemnos (Hephaistos' island), brandishing lightning bolts and with sparks streaming from Their eyes.

		The island is said by Polybius to have borne the more ancient name of Aithaleia, it possibly took the name Limnos from a goddess identifiable with the Great Mother.
		The principal cults, however, were those of Hephaistos (said to have been thrown down to Limnos from Olympos for intervening in a quarrel between Zeus and Hera, his parents) and of the Kabeiroi.
		Among many legends is that of the curse of Aphrodite upon the Limnians for impugning her virtue.

		Herodotus, Stesimbrotos, Pherekydes and Strabo wrote that the gods of the mysteries were Kabeiroi, sons of Hephaistos, similar to him in appearance and in their craft.
		The site, however, has yielded no material evidence for Kabeiroi: their names are absent from inscriptions, which mention only Theoi Megaloi, and no iconography appropriate to them has been found in ceramics or sculpture.
		And the daimonic group of which the Kabeiroi were members were magicians, inventors of iron, and creators of animated statues.
