In the provided sources Alpheus is attested primarily as a river god in Greek mythology: a divine personification associated with a particular river (a potamos) within ancient Greek religious categories. The supplied excerpts do not supply a narrative genealogy, specific mythic episodes, or a fuller myth cycle for this figure; they identify Alpheus as a landscape-associated deity rather than giving detailed origin myths. Separately, the name appears as Alphaeus in New Testament genealogical contexts and is used in modern contexts (fictional characters and a crustacean genus), indicating onomastic continuity and reuse across traditions.
The excerpts supplied do not include any consistent or specific iconographic or physical description of Alpheus as a supernatural being. The principal attestation labels Alpheus as a river god (potamos), which in Greek art and literature is a category that may be represented anthropomorphically, but no such representations or descriptions are provided in the quoted material. Other occurrences of the lexeme in the sources refer to human individuals, fictional characters, or a biological genus and do not contribute a unified appearance for a mythic Alpheus.
The sources characterize Alpheus primarily as the personification and divine embodiment of the river bearing his name. While no list of explicit supernatural feats or habitual behaviors is given in the supplied material, his classification as a potamos implies his identity is bound to the river's flow and presence: he functions as the localized divine force of that watercourse and participates in the wider network of local gods within Greek mythology. The provided texts do not attribute specific miraculous acts, contests, or narrated deeds to Alpheus.
Ares
Ares (Ancient Greek: Ἄρης) is the ancient Greek Olympian god of war who personifies the physical violence, valor, and bloodlust of combat. Worshiped irregularly across Greece and Asia Minor, he was both honored and ritually restrained by communities that sought to direct his martial power toward protection rather than wanton destruction.
Artemis
Artemis is an ancient Greek goddess of hunting, the wilderness and wild animals, transitions (especially childbirth and puberty), vegetation, and chastity. Twin sister of Apollo and daughter of Zeus and Leto, she functions as a protector of young children and maidens while also capable of inflicting disease or punishment for transgressions against her sacred laws.
Oceanus
Oceanus (Greek: Ὠκεανός) is a primordial Titan in ancient Greek cosmology who personifies the great river that encircles the world and is named as father of the river gods (potamoi) and the Oceanids. He functions as a cosmological boundary-stream and genealogical progenitor in multiple Greek traditions and appears in literary theogonies and Greco-Roman art.
Tethys
Tethys is attested in the provided materials primarily as a Titaness of Greek mythic tradition who in a modern children's retelling is presented as an elderly storyteller and mediator among gods. The name is also widely reused in scientific and cultural contexts (a Saturnian moon, a gastropod genus, the ancient Tethys Ocean, and various institutions), usages which are naming transfers rather than continuations of the mythic figure.
*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.
Abaddon
In Hebrew scripture Abaddon is primarily a noun meaning 'destruction' or a section/condition of the underworld paired with Sheol; in the New Testament Book of Revelation Abaddon is personified as an angelic figure (Greek Apollyon) described as the king of an army of locusts released from the abyss during the apocalypse.
Abadir
Abadir is a polysemous name attested in distinct cultural contexts: a legendary founding saint and clan ancestor in eastern Ethiopia (Sheikh Abadir Umar Al‑Rida / Aw Abadir), a term applied to cone‑shaped cult stones in Phoenician religious description, and a personal name of a martyr (Abadir/Apater) in the Coptic Synaxarium. The attestations are independent usages of the same name rather than a single supernatural being.
Abadiu of Antinoe
Abadiu of Antinoe was a fourth‑century bishop of Antinoe (Antinoopolis, in Roman Egypt) commemorated as a martyr and saint in the Coptic Orthodox Church, with a feast day on 26 December. Sources record that he was killed during a theological dispute with Arian opponents and reference him in collections of Egyptian martyrs.
Abagtha
Abagtha (Hebrew: אבגתא, ’Ǎḇaḡṯā) is a named human court official in the Hebrew Bible’s Book of Esther, listed among seven chamberlains who ministered before King Ahasuerus and were commanded to bring Queen Vashti before the king. He is attested only in Esther 1:10 and is presented as an institutional palace attendant rather than a supernatural being.
Abanoub
Abanoub is a 4th‑century Egyptian Christian child martyr venerated in the Coptic tradition. Remembered for his public confession of Christ, miraculous healings associated with his passion, and the translation and veneration of his relics, his feast is observed on July 31 (Epip 24) and his cult centers include Nehisa and Samanoud.
