Aegea
Aegea is a back-formation from "Aegean", the sea that was named for an eponymous Aegeus in early levels of Greek mythology. The ''Encyclopaedia Britannica'' (1911) mentioned an Aegea, queen of the Amazons, as an alternative eponym of the Aegean Sea. Legend says she commanded an army of Amazon women warriors that traveled from Libya to Asia Minor to fight at Troy, and that she perished at sea with her army. "Aegea" is found in modern baby-name books and carried by some contemporary women. Modern Italian has the adjective ''Egea'' ("Aegean"), but Classical Latin had none. Modern botanical Latin sometimes uses the specific epithet ''aegea'' to mean "of the Aegean". ==References==
