Classical texts and scholia record Aeanes as a personal name preserved in epic tradition and local geography. Strabo states that the man slain by Patroclus was called Aeanes and that a sacred precinct, the Aeaneium, and a spring called Aeanis were named after him. Scholiastic notes and an Apollodorus footnote indicate variant manuscript readings of the slain youth's name (Clisonymus / Cleitonymus or Aeanes), reflecting onomastic instability in transmitted heroic lists rather than a single coherent mythic origin.
The cited sources do not provide a physical or supernatural description of Aeanes. Attestations are documentary (epic index entries, scholia, and Strabo's geographical note) referring to a named mortal and associated place-names; no consistent depiction of a shade or other apparition is given in the provided material.
No supernatural powers, behaviors, or interactions are ascribed to Aeanes in the provided sources. References present Aeanes as a named individual slain in legendary violence (notably 'the man who was slain by Patroclus' per Strabo) and as a name occurring in epic name-lists or scholia. Fragmentary later phrasing that pairs the name with the word 'shade' is not corroborated in the corpus supplied and does not establish abilities or spirit-status.
*Péh₂usōn (reconstructed)
Péh₂usōn is a hypothetical Proto‑Indo‑European pastoral guardian reconstructed by comparative scholars from parallels in Greek and Vedic traditions. Proposed as a Graeco‑Aryan ancestor‑figure, the reconstruction describes a protector of flocks, roads, and travellers rather than an attested historical cultic personality.

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.
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.
Abena Mansa
A name attested in a single contemporary Ghanaian blog anecdote as a 'mysterious being'; available sources do not establish Abena Mansa as a coherent, traditional supernatural figure or provide corroborating ethnographic detail.
