A nymph whom Apollodorus names as the mother of Bucolion, illegitimate eldest son of king Laomedon — the prose genealogy beside Homer's shepherd episode, where the only named fountain-nymph is Abarbarea, mother of Aesepus and Pedasus.1
In Apollodorus' roll of Laomedon's children, the king begat Tithonus, Lampus, Clytius, Hicetaon, and Podarces, and the daughters Hesione, Cilla, and Astyoche, besides a son Bucolion by a nymph Calybe. No other ancient author in the atlas' seven lenses names her; Homer knows Bucolion as Laomedon's eldest, born of an unwed mother, and names a different fountain-nymph, Abarbarea, as the mother of Bucolion's twin sons.2⚖
