Bura (Greek mythology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Bura (/ˈbjʊərə/ BURE; Ancient Greek: Βούρα, romanizedBoúra) was a daughter of Ion, son of Xuthus, and Helice. She was the eponym of the city Boura in Achaea.[1]

She is possibly the same as Bura, mother of Atrax by Peneus.[2]
