In Greek mythology, Abarbaree or Abarbarea (Ancient Greek: Ἀβαρβαρέα means 'unmuddy'[1]) was the naiad nymph of the meadows of the river, Aesepus, her river-god father.[2]
Family
Abarbarea was the wife of Bucolion (the eldest but illegitimate son of the Trojan king Laomedon) and had twin sons by him, Aesepus and Pedasus[1][3][4][5], who were killed by Euryalus during the Trojan War.[6]
- "Then Euryalus slew Dresus and Opheltius, and went on after Aesepus and Pedasus, whom on a time the fountain-nymph Abarbarea bare to peerless Bucolion. Now Bucolion was son of lordly Laomedon, his eldest born, though the mother that bare him was unwed; he while shepherding his flocks lay with the nymph in love, and she conceived and bare twin sons."[7]
Mythology
Before her marriage to Bucolion, Abarbarea often reproached Nicaea for having killed the mortal ox-herder Hymnus.[8]
- "The Nymph of the mountain was sore offended at manslaying Nicaia, and lamented over the body of Hymnos; in her watery hall the girl of Rhyndacos groaned, carried along barefoot by the water; the Naiads wept, and up in Sipylos, the neighbouring rock of Niobe groaned yet more with tears that flow uncalled; the youngest girl of all, still unacquainted with wedded love, not yet having come to Bucolion's pallet, the Naiad Abarbarea oft reproached the nymph..."[9]
