Abrota
Boeotian princess whose garment became a Megarian mourning tradition.
She married Nisos, king of Megara, and was the supposed mother of Scylla, Iphinoe and Eurynome. After her death, Nisos commanded Megarian women to wear a garment like hers, called aphábroma, which remained in use into Plutarch's time.
