contents We prove that the tropical Abel--Prym map $Ψ\colon \widetildeΓ\to Prym(\widetildeΓ/Γ)$ associated with a free double cover $π\colon \widetildeΓ\to Γ$ of hyperelliptic metric graphs is harmonic of degree $2$ in accordance with the already established algebraic result. We then prove a partial converse. Contrary to the analogous algebraic result, when the source graph of the double cover is not hyperelliptic, the Abel--Prym map is often not injective. When the source graph is hyperelliptic, we show that the Abel--Prym graph $Ψ(\widetildeΓ)$ is a hyperelliptic metric graph of genus $g_Γ-1$ whose Jacobian is isomorphic, as pptav, to the Prym variety of the cover. En route, we count the number of distinct free double covers by hyperelliptic metric graphs.
