Seller's Note/  In Greek mythology, the Kabeiroi, were a group of enigmatic underworld deities worshiped in a mystery cult closely associated with that of Hephaestus, centered about the northern Aegean islands and further into Anatolia, modern Turkey. The mystery cult spread rapidly throughout the Greek world during the Hellenistic period, eventually initiating Romans, as well.
