Template:Short description Abaeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀβαῖος) was a toponymic epithet of the Greek god Apollo,[1][2] derived from the town of Abae in Phocis,[3][4][5] where the god had a rich temple renowned for its oracles,[6][7][8] which were said to have been consulted by Croesus and Mardonius, among others.[9] 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.[10]
