In Greek mythology, Aba ( Ancient Greek: Ἄβα, romanized: Ába, lit. 'wheel, shout') was a Thracian naiad nymph from the town of Ergisce in Ciconia. [1] She became the mother of a son Ergiscus by Poseidon, after whom Çatalca (Ergisce) took its name. [2] [3] [4] Aba is presumed to be a daughter of the river Hébros (Ἕβρος).
The source is uncertain, but it is likely related to aúo (αὔω, 'to shout, to call'). [5] It is also speculated that it denotes a large Mediterranean sea-cow. [6] Additionally, it is also coincidentally the Aiolic variation of the Doric word hébe (ἥβη, 'youth'). [7]
