Akaba
- Nach Hwegbadja zweiter König
von Dahomey (1680-1708) aus der Aladahonu-Dynastie,
seine Nachfolger: Agajá,
Tegbesu,
Adanzan, Ghezo (vgl. Agotime);
"Nom d'un roi du Dahomey (1680-1708), déifié après sa mort et adoré
comme Vodou dans la Casa das Minas."
(Bastide 1969 560); "Zamadonou [Zomadonu]:
C'est le Tobossou, c'est-à-dire
le fils anormal du roi Akaba, adoré comme Vodou dans la Casa das Minas." (Bastide 1969 573); "In the reign of
Akaba,
which extended from 1680 to 1708, six chief-priests of the river cult who were
suspected of a plot against the king, were sold with all their followers, and
their gods were so effectively suppressed that there is no one left who knows
how to worship those ancient river spirits“ (Herskovits II 88f.).
