Cyamites or Kyamites (Ancient Greek: Κυαμίτης) from κύαμος "bean", was a hero in ancient Greek religion, worshiped locally in Athens.[1][2]
His name has been interpreted as "the god of the beans and patron of the bean market", given that a bean market (κυαμῖτις) was reported by Plutarch[3] to have been situated on the same road not far from the sanctuary.
