Origin

The name Diogeneia appears in ancient Greek mythographic tradition as the personal name of at least three women: (1) a daughter of the river-god Cephissus who married Phrasimus and became mother of Praxithea (attested in mythographic listings referenced by modern compilations such as Wikipedia and indices like ToposText and Pantheon); (2) an Eleusinian princess listed among the daughters of King Celeus and Metanira (attested in mythographic catalogues); and (3) a daughter of Phorbas of Olenus who married Alector of Elis and was mother of Amarynceus in one tradition (Pausanias and other local genealogical traditions provide variant parentages). These attestations are genealogical and local-historical rather than narrative accounts of a unified mythic persona.

Abarbarea

Abarbarea is a name attested in classical Greek and Roman sources for freshwater nymphs (naiads). The name appears for at least two individual mythic figures — a naiad wife of Bucolion and a naiad counted among ancestors of the Tyrians — and Hesychius records plural forms that may indicate the name was also used as a class-name (Abarbareai / Abarbalaiai).

Abas (Ancient Greek: Ἄβας, gen.: Ἄβαντος) is not a single mythic being but a recurring personal name borne by multiple mortals and minor mythic figures in Greek epic and genealogical traditions — kings, founders, seers, warriors, attendants, a centaur, and a youth transformed by a goddess. The name is glossed in the sources as 'guileless' or 'good-hearted' and appears across Argive, Theban, Trojan, Euboean, and other local cycles.

Abderus

Abderus (Ancient Greek: Ἄβδηρος, romanized Ábdēros) is a mortal heroic figure in Greek myth closely associated with Heracles, remembered as the youth left in charge of the Mares of Diomedes who was killed by them. He functions as an eponymous local/divine-hero ancestor for the city of Abdera and received funerary commemoration and athletic agones at his tomb.
