For the brush-footed butterfly genus, see Abrota (butterfly).

Abrota (Greek Αβρώτη) was the daughter of Onchestus the Boeotian, sister of Megareus, and the wife of Nisos, king of Megara. On her death Nisos commanded all the Megarian women to wear a garment of the same kind as Abrota had worn, which was called aphabroma (αφάβρωμα), and was still in use in the time of Plutarch.^[1][2]
