Abaeus
Abaeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀβαῖος) was a toponymic epithet of the Greek god Apollo, derived from the town of Abae in Phocis,[1] where the god had a rich temple renowned for its oracles,[2][3][4] which were said to have been consulted by Croesus and Mardonius, among others.[5] This temple of Apollo Abaeus was destroyed by the Persians during the invasion of Xerxes, and a second time by the Boeotians. It was rebuilt by Hadrian.[6]
