Ancient attestation: The name Actia (Ancient Greek: Ἄκτια) is recorded as the festival and epithet of Apollo Actius connected to the sanctuary at Actium and the city of Nicopolis in Epirus. Classical authors (as summarized in the supplied source) mention the temple of Apollo at Actium; Augustus reestablished and enlarged the cult site and instituted quinquennial games (πενταετηρίς, ludi quinquennales) commemorating his naval victory at Actium in 31 BC. The games were described as a sacred agon and were replicated or celebrated in Rome and elsewhere by senatorial order. Modern attestations: Separately, Actia is used as a genus name in insect taxonomy (Wikidata entry) and has been reused as a trade/company name and in various modern contexts in commerce and onomastics in sources provided.
No appearance of a supernatural being named Actia is documented in the supplied materials. The physical contexts attested under the name include the temple of Apollo at Actium and the stadium at Nicopolis (the architectural/ceremonial settings for the Actia games), and, in modern usage, the taxonomic designation for a genus of flies and corporate/product branding. Specific architectural descriptions (temple, stadium) are noted in the festival sources rather than descriptions of any sentient being.
No supernatural powers or behaviors are ascribed to an entity named Actia in the provided sources. The activities associated with the term in ancient cultic context are athletic and performative: wrestling, musical contests, horse racing, and sea battles as part of the Actia games. Modern usages denote non-mythic referents: a genus of insects (Actia) per Wikidata and various company/product names cited in commercial sources.

Aba (disambiguation / name-form)
Aba is a polyvalent name-form attested across many unrelated contexts (place names, personal names, animal names, and brief mythological listings). The provided sources do not support a single, coherent supernatural entity called "Aba" and offer no descriptive or ritual material for such a being.
Abandinus
Abandinus is a locally attested Romano‑Celtic theonym known from a single inscribed bronze feather (votive object) dedicated at Godmanchester (the Roman fort Durovigutum) in Cambridgeshire. Scholars interpret him as a local god or male spirit tied to a specific place and possibly associated with a nearby spring or stream; this association is tentative and based on etymological readings of the name.
Abarbarea
Abarbarea is a name attested in classical Greek and Roman sources for freshwater nymphs (naiads). The name appears for at least two individual mythic figures — a naiad wife of Bucolion and a naiad counted among ancestors of the Tyrians — and Hesychius records plural forms that may indicate the name was also used as a class-name (Abarbareai / Abarbalaiai).
Abas
Abas (Ancient Greek: Ἄβας, gen.: Ἄβαντος) is not a single mythic being but a recurring personal name borne by multiple mortals and minor mythic figures in Greek epic and genealogical traditions — kings, founders, seers, warriors, attendants, a centaur, and a youth transformed by a goddess. The name is glossed in the sources as 'guileless' or 'good-hearted' and appears across Argive, Theban, Trojan, Euboean, and other local cycles.
Abderus
Abderus (Ancient Greek: Ἄβδηρος, romanized Ábdēros) is a mortal heroic figure in Greek myth closely associated with Heracles, remembered as the youth left in charge of the Mares of Diomedes who was killed by them. He functions as an eponymous local/divine-hero ancestor for the city of Abdera and received funerary commemoration and athletic agones at his tomb.
Abellio
Abellio is a theonym attested in Roman‑period inscriptions from the Comminges area of the Pyrenees and reported as worshipped in the Garonne Valley of ancient Gallia Aquitania. Surviving evidence is limited to a small number of inscriptions; scholars have variously hypothesized solar or arboreal associations and compared the name to forms of Apollo or to Celtic Belenus, but the deity's precise role in local cosmology remains uncertain.
