Abarbarea

In classical Greek and Roman mythology, Abarbarea (Ancient Greek: Ἀβαρβαρέη) 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]
