Abarbarea of Tyre

In Greek mythology, Abarbarea (Ancient Greek: Ἀβαρβαρέη, romanizedAbarbaree, lit.'unmuddy'[1]) was a naiad nymph and one of the three ancestors of the Tyrians, along with Callirrhoe and Drosera. These nymphs were joined to sons of the soil (autochthonous) by the god Eros who was angered by their chastity.[2] She was not to be confused with another Abarbarea, the wife of Bucolion.
