Abarbarea (wife of Bucalion)

Aesapus, the river god and Bucolion's wife, was the mother of Abarbarea (Ἀβαρβαρέα), a Naiad who gave birth to two sons, Aesepus (named after his grandfather) and Pedasus.

Hesychius names a class of nymphs called Abarbareai or Abarbaraiai; other writers do not mention this nymph.

Homer, Iliad 6. 21 ff (trans. Lattimore) (Greek epic C8th B.C.) : "Aisepos and Pedasos, those whom the Naias Nymphe Abarbaree had born to blameless Boukolion. Boukolion himself was the son of haughty Laomedon . . . While shepherding his flocks he lay with the Nymphe and loved her, and she conceiving bore him twin boys."

I'm reading the iliad for class but I don't have anyone to rant to so I guess why not scream into the internet ether

menelaos, when he sees patroklos' body, stands "as over a first-born calf the mother cow stands lowing, she who has known no children before this," which makes me think of this painting (anguish by august friedrich schenck)

especially because literally every one of the greeks talks about how kind and gentle patroklos was + how he was a light to strengthen them when they were weary

and just,,,,,, everything about achilleus and patroklos I could go on and on about that
