Abro'tonum

*)Abru/tonon), a Thracian harlot, who according to some accounts was the mother of Themistocles. There is an epigram preserved recording this fact. (Plut. Them. 1; Athen. 13.576c.; Aelian, Ael. VH 12.43.) Plutarch also refers to her in his Ἐρωτικὸς (p. 753d.); and Lucian speaks of a harlot of the same name (Dial. Meretr. 1).
