In Greek mythology, the Cabeiri or Cabiri /kəˈbaɪriː/ (Ancient Greek: Κάβειροι, Kábeiroi), also transliterated Kabeiri or Kabiri, were a group of enigmatic chthonic deities. They were worshiped in a mystery cult closely associated with that of Hephaestus, centered in the north Aegean islands of Lemnos and possibly Samothrace—at the Samothrace temple complex—and at Thebes. In their distant origins the Cabeiri and the Samothracian gods may include pre-Greek elements, or other non-Greek elements, such as Thracian, Tyrrhenian, Pelasgian, Phrygian or Hittite. The Lemnian cult was always local to Lemnos, but the Samothracian mystery cult spread rapidly throughout the Greek world during the Hellenistic period, eventually initiating Romans.

Wikipedia EL

Οι Κάβειροι (ή Κάβιροι στη Βοιωτία) ήταν θεότητες αρχαίας Ελληνικής μυστηριακής λατρείας η οποία πρωτοεμφανίζεται στη Λήμνο, την Ίμβρο, τη Σαμοθράκη και τη Θήβα (ή πιο συγκεκριμένα, αρχικά τουλάχιστον, σε περιοχή της Βοιωτίας λίγο δυτικά της Θήβας) αλλά αργότερα επεκτείνεται και αλλού (Μικρά Ασία, Μακεδονία, Θράκη, υπόλοιπο Αιγαίο).
