Ῥέα

See also: ῥέα

Ancient Greek

Of disputed origin, with several theories suggested and none widely accepted, such as a connection to ἔρα (éra, “ground”) (see ἔραζε (éraze)), ῥέω (rhéō, “flow”, verb), or simply Pre-Greek/Minoan. Less likely, cognate with Sanskrit रसा (Rasā́) and Avestan 𐬭𐬀𐬢𐬵𐬁 (Raŋhā), names of a mythical river (for Proto-Indo-Iranian *HrasáH), derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rṓs;^[1] see ἐρωή (erōḗ) for this or a similar root.
