In Greek mythology, the name Abas ((ギリシア語:Ἄβας); ''gen''.: Ἄβαντος) is attributed to several individuals: *Abas, king of Argos. *Abas, the son of Poseidon and Arethusa.〔Hyginus, ''Fabulae'', 157〕 A Thracian by birth, Abas founded a tribe known as the Abantians or Abantes. Abas and his Abantian followers migrated to the island of Euboea, where he subsequently reigned as king. He was father of Canethus〔Apollonius Rhodius, ''Argonautica'', 1. 79〕 and Chalcodon, and through the latter grandfather of Elephenor, who is known to have accidentally killed him.〔Tzetzes on Lycophron, 1034〕 Also given as Abas' children are Alcon, Arethusa and Dias, of whom the latter was said to have founded a city Athenae on Euboea.〔Stephanus of Byzantium s. v. Athēnai〕 *Abas, an Argive seer, son of Melampus and Iphianeira. He was the father of Coeranus, Idmon, and Lysimache.〔''Bibliotheca'' 1. 9. 13〕〔Hyginus, ''Fabulae'', 14〕〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'', 1. 43. 5〕 *Abas, a companion of Perseus.〔Ovid, ''Metamorphoses'', 5. 126〕 *Abas, one of Diomedes' companions, whom Aphrodite turned into a swan.〔Ovid, ''Metamorphoses'', 14. 505〕 *Abas, a son of Metaneira who was changed by Demeter into a lizard, because he mocked the goddess when she had come on her wanderings into the house of his mother, and drank eagerly to quench her thirst.〔Ovid, ''Metamorphoses'', 5. 450〕 Other traditions relate the same story of a boy, Ascalabus, and call his mother Misme.〔Antoninus Liberalis, ''Metamorphoses'', 23〕 *Abas, a defender of Thebes against the Seven. He and his sons Cydon and Argus were killed in the battle.〔Statius, ''Thebaid'', 7. 646; 9. 758〕 *Abas, a Centaur who attended the wedding of Pirithous and Hippodamia.〔Ovid, ''Metamorphoses'', 12. 306〕 *Abas, the son of the Trojan Eurydamas; he fought in the Trojan War and was killed by Diomedes.〔Homer, ''Iliad'', 5. 148〕 *Abas, another defender of Troy, was killed by Sthenelus.〔Quintus Smyrnaeus, ''Fall of Troy'', 11. 81〕 In the ''Aeneid'', the name Abas belongs to two companions of Aeneas: *Abas, a captain whose ship was routed in the storm off Carthage. *Abas, an Etruscan ally from Populonia in the war against the Rutulians and the Latians. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abas (mythology)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
