Aba (Naiad)

In Greek mythology, Aba (Ancient Greek: Ἄβα) was a Thracian naiad nymph from the town of Ergisce in Ciconia. She became the mother by Poseidon, of a son Ergiscus after whom Çatalca (Ergisce), took its name from its founder.[1][2][3] Aba is presumed to be a daughter of the river Hebros.
