Definition: The word "Amboina" means a large, massive object or structure in Greek mythology. It appears in several stories attributed to the god Apollo. In one story from Homer's epic poem, "Iliad," there are two versions of an amboina that appear as the title for both books: "The Amboinian" and "Amboinas." The second version is often used to denote the Greek goddess Aphrodite, who was also associated with a huge amboino known as "Hekate." Another story from Homer's Iliad mentions an amboina that appears in two different places: at Marathon (Achilles) and at Aegospotamus (where Achilles was defeated). The latter is often given the name of Apollo's daughter, Amaphla. In addition, there are several stories associated with the Greek goddess Aphrodite, including one where she is described as a huge, monstrous amboina that terrorizes men. She is also seen as the goddess who gave birth to the legendary king Adonis of Aegospotamus. In this context, "Amboina" refers to a large, monstrous, and terrifying figure or object.
