"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."[8]
Mythology
Before her marriage to Bucolion, Abarbarea often reproached
Nicaea for having killed the mortal ox-herder
Hymnus.[9]
"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..."[10]
