Abarbarea Explained

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] [4]}
