Abarbarea
In classical Greek and Roman mythology, Abarbarea (Ancient Greek: Ἀβαρβαρέα) is the name of two nymphs:
- Abarbarea, naiad wife of Bucolion[1]
- Abarbarea, naiad ancestor of the Tyrians[2]
- Other writers do not mention this nymph, but Hesychius mentions "Abarbareai" (Ἀβαρβαρέαι) or "Abarbalaiai" (Ἀβαρβαλαια) as the name of a class of nymphs.[3]
